It's not a security mechanism-- a thread that had the privilege to set credentials can always revert back to its original credentials by calling: pthread_setugid_np(KAUTH_UID_NONE, KAUTH_GID_NONE);
That's exactly what I was looking for. So can you tell me if
that's documented anywhere -- or is this just in the collective
knowledge of the Mac OS X Gestalt? I'll file a bug report on the lack of documentation for pthread_getugid_np/pthread_setugid_np. Thanks so very much for the info. James
