- * cap_emulate_setxuid() fixes the effective / permitted capabilities of

- *
- *  1) When set*uiding _from_ one of {r,e,s}uid == 0 _to_ all of
- *  {r,e,s}uid != 0, the permitted and effective capabilities are
- *  cleared.
- *
- *  2) When set*uiding _from_ euid == 0 _to_ euid != 0, the effective
- *  capabilities of the process are cleared.
- *
- *  3) When set*uiding _from_ euid != 0 _to_ euid == 0, the effective
- *  capabilities are set to the permitted capabilities.
- *
- *  fsuid is handled elsewhere. fsuid == 0 and {r,e,s}uid!= 0 should 
- *  never happen.

- * cevans - New behaviour, Oct '99
- * A process may, via prctl(), elect to keep its capabilities when it
- * calls setuid() and switches away from uid==0. Both permitted and
- * effective sets will be retained.
- * Without this change, it was impossible for a daemon to drop only some
- * of its privilege. The call to setuid(!=0) would drop all privileges!
- * Keeping uid 0 is not an option because uid 0 owns too many vital
- * files..
- * Thanks to Olaf Kirch and Peter Benie for spotting this.
