Hi - I have a script (simple server) that can be used by others remote to me. For security I would like to 'become' (assume the permissions) of a specified, under-privileged user before listening to the outside world - much like Apache 'becomes' the user/group specified in the http.conf file.
I admit, I'm lost... CPAN 'user' modules seem to concentrate on looking at/manipulating users, not changing into one. I would like to do this in a 'portable' way, (nix and Win32). Before I delve into the Apache source, is there somewhere else to look? Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
