Before you get to crazy with this you might want to play around with
programs that use setuid().  I was thumbing through the Tandy LII docs
a few days ago and noticed that, according to that infamously
error-ridden book, F$SETID (or whatever exactly it's called) doesn't
do any sort of security check, it just succeeds.  In other words, any
user can change his user id to any other user.

Or, the book could be wrong.  Again.

Or, Boisy (or the earlier NitrOS people) might have done something to
fix this.
