The real questions we should be attempting to address here include:

I am new to programming on Linux, I just searched for Setuid() and found
that it sets the effective userid of my program to the userid I specify. So
can I just call setuid() in my program when I need superuser privileges and
have those privileges. To what part of my program are those privileges

I rebuilt rainbow olpc-utils. olpc-utils underwent a relatively

Also, I built rainbow in F-9
