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.

To build the libident library for a supported target, just type:

	make <target>

where target can be one of:

	sunos5, sunos4, svr4, bsd, linux, nextstep3.0 or nextstep3.1

For other systems you'll need to hack the Makefile (please do send
me any patches you make so I can include them into the next version!)
