Porting to SVR3 system without seteuid() etc...

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Patrick,
That's UGLY - no seteuid.  I've worked with an os with a similar problem,
and basically I had to write a define for seteuid, so that it just maps to 
setuid.

#define seteuid(x) setuid(x)

and #ifdef'ed it for that os in the includes.h file.

  If you don't care about security, this will work, but it's not 
pretty....  I'm ASSUMING that CLIX at least has a setuid function???

Greetings all.

A general question here - I'm looking at porting Samba to an Intergraph UNIX
system (CLIX). I've resolved most of the issues, but it looks like the
killer is going to be the seteuid() thing - CLIX doesn't have any effective
uid handling calls. Any suggestions? I'll break the security altogether in
order to get it running (for my internal use) if I have to, but I'd rather
hear if anyone's come across this same situation before and found a "nice"
way to tackle it.
