Dropping privileges in various translators
Hi folks :)
this is a patch series adding setnullauth () to libshouldbeinlibc and
demonstrating its use for dropping unix privileges in the null and
tmpfs translators. A nullauth utility is provided to start arbitrary
programs without any privileges. This can be used to run the
translator on /dev/zero without privileges.
