I was compiling a program (Kerberos 5) on BSD/OS a couple days ago and found that I was running in to trouble because BSDI's setreuid() doesn't work very well (it seems that once you get to root, you can't switch to another user), so just for kicks I decided to go compare the BSDI setreuid() with the one from FreeBSD. Anyway, along the way I found that kern/kern_prot.c seems to be fully loaded with #ifdefs for _POSIX_SAVED_IDS, but _POSIX_SAVED_IDS is not defined by default. Is it just because not everything is up to handling a saved-id setuid()? Evan
