No idea. Reading the code, I see some functionality the author decided =
should only be accessible to root users. There's 600 lines of code left =
in main() and I'm not skilled enough to see if there are any potential =
exploits left.

If it's not a security breach then I'm on the wrong list, but I guess it =
still leads to unintended behavior if setuid() fails?
