Sorry, it was quick attempt to say something different:
I mean process group from one session.
I really want to say that any root process from process
group can modify its father login name. Traditionly
son can't modify father resources in such way.

Why? New session is being created after setsid() (no
usual way to do that besides setsid()),
*AND* process becomes session leader after setsid(), *SO*
it assumes session leader.
