I am pleased to announce the release of GNU userv 1.2.0.
userv (pronounced you-serve) is a program which, according to the
specification, is
a Unix system facility to allow one program to invoke another when
only limited trust exists between them.
Its slogan is:
_Put the security boundary where it ought to be._
It is a tool for system administrators, who often find themselves with
a program running as one user which needs to be able to do certain
things as another user.
It is also a component for application authors who wish to do what is
now known as `privsep', using a process call interface.
For more information about userv, please see one of:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv/
This release fixes some fairly minor bugs.
Also, the licence has been upgraded to GPL3+.
The files are available here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv//ftp/
(Unfortunately the GNU mirror network and the web page on www.gnu.org
have not yet been updated.)
Here is the SHA-256 checksum:
