Security fix! Correct handling of seteuid() return value See Debian bug #638002, reported by John Lightsey. When possible the (already available) set_euidgid() function is used. Additionally, it is unnecessary to change the identity when writing into an already open file descriptor. This should fix the problem.

This is the old manual by oku, dated May/July 2000. At this time the
development must just have started with the 0.1 versions.

Many things are still the same as then, but there are things that
changed. Please keep this in mind when you read the manual.
