    Thanks for the pointer.  I guess I should have taken a much closer look
at the policy manual.  Mea culpa.

    This means I'll have to convert the code to setgid, which I've never
done before.  Is there anything particularly dangerous that I should look
out for?  It's probably not simply a question of replacing all setuid()s
with setgid()s.  :-)  Time to consult the manuals.
