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;
