please correct following:
setuid is used by the process to gain access to the other users resources
by setting effective user id of the process to resource owner's id.
but ,
1. how the process determines which resources it can access, which uids it can set.
2. can a process set the euid of root to any other process.
getting the root privilliges to the normal process.
Thanks,
