Hmmm, I'll have to try this.  I have patched the Apr 28th kermit (which
hasn't changed since then) to use seteuid()/setegid() correctly.

I also fixed up ckuuid.c to include this testing.

I added a SETEUID define, (which implies SAVEDUIDS since it needs those to
work).  With these fixes ckuuid.c passes it's tests and says it's safe.
(You have to switch the setreXid() calls to seteXid() in the priv_on()  and
priv_off() stuff and use setXid() for cancel_priv()).

I've still got some other issues:

It doesn't seem to be using its privleges to open the tty port, which seems
to be the whole point of a setuid kermit.  Also, "set modem ..." doesn't seem to
get it to force NOBLOCK on the open of the tty device (the code seems to
assume that this only matters for SysVen...blech).

Once I've got the set line stuff working, I'll submit the seteuid() patches.

-Mark
