In talking to the NetBSD folks, I have discoverd that the documentation for setre[gu]id doesn't match the code in FreeBSD. Before I commit the following changes to are docs, can someone please make sure that the actual code in the kernel does what I say it does in the change? My reading of the code is that it does this, but I think that it would be good to have another set of eyes reading it. I got these changes from the NetBSD man pages. Comments?
