It seems to be possible for user A to kill -9 a process whose saved set-user-ID is 0 (root) and effective user ID is A's. Is there any way for a process to avoid getting killed like that when doing, say, a seteuid(A)-fopen()-seteuid(0) sequence to access a file under A's permissions (like pppd does with ~/.ppprc)?
