It seems that some changes to setreuid() broke it for the purposes that Taylor uses it, and the POSIX saved-setuid changes that were supposed to make it work aren't in there yet. Go into common_sources/policy.h and define HAVE_BROKEN_SETREUID as 1 and HAVE_SAVED_SETUID as 0. Gordon L. Burditt sneaky.lonestar.org!gordon
