Probably I'm missing something about Apache or about uid and euid.
I'm running apache, with user = nobody (= 65536).
When I run a CGI program I have the following situation:
after start:
getuid = 65536
geteuid = 0
after setuid(0) and seteuid(0):
getuid = 0
geteuid = 0
Is that correct? Should instead Apache start my program with euid = 65536?
Isn't euid the effective user id during the run of a program (the one I may
modify with chmod 4xxx), that's to say the one that gives me the real access
privileges?
