NAME

       privgrp - HP-UX group privileges

DESCRIPTION

       HP-UX  allows  subletting of limited superuser-like privileges to all users or to members of a particular group or groups.  This capability
       is deprecated and only existing applications should use it.  The newer fine-grained privilege facilities described in privileges(5)  should
       be used by new applications.

       The header defines the following symbolic privilege names: and

       All  but  one of the group privileges are supported as fine-grained privileges and described in privileges(5).  The one group privilege not
       supported as a fine-grained privilege is:

	      Permits the use of the
			     and system calls for changing respectively the real user ID and real group ID of a  process  (see	setuid(2)).   This
			     behavior  of  is  deprecated  and	only legacy applications should use it.  Newer applications should use and respec-
			     tively, to achieve the same effect.  (No special privileges required.)

       The header defines two additional symbolic constants:

	      defines the maximum number of groups with special privileges.
			     Of this maximum, one is reserved for global privileges (granted to all processes) and the remainder can  be  assigned
			     to actual group IDs.

	      defines the size of the multi-word mask used
			     in defining privileges associated with a group ID.

       The and commands and the and system calls may be used to define and query the privilege group associations.

       The group privileges are automatically initialized from the contents of (see privgrp(4)) at boot time.

WARNINGS

       This mechanism is deprecated and only legacy applications should use it.  See privileges(5) for a description of fine-grained privileges.
