Details:
The only thing I was able to use it for was to provoke a system crash.
I tried to do a ``setauth -g devel'' after having created a `devel' group.
`setauth' asked me for a password -- what password does it want me to type
in?
Running a plain ``setauth'' without any command line arguments made it
iterate through all processes (I suppose), displaying either ``setauth:
[pid]: Operation not permitted'' or ``setauth: [pid]: Cannot get auth port:
(ipc/send) invalid destination port''. The latter ones are the ids of
processes that don't even exist anymore, as a comparison with ``ps -Af''
could tell me.
After that I was left with no ids:
#v+
$ ids
effective uids:
effective gids:
available uids:
available gids:
#v-
Running ``setauth -g devel'' again made the system crash. (I can't reproduce
this at the moment, however.)
