Hello!

I have root-owned suid-marked CGI-BIN program
that creates new users via /usr/sbin/pw.

It also should set userquotas via 
/usr/sbin/edquota -p template_username -u new_username

But when equota starts, getuid()==65534 and geteuid()==0
and edquota complains :(
What is the reason using getuid() and not geteuid()?
