**  This program checks to see if your version of setuid works.
**  Compile it, make it set-user-ID root, and run it as yourself (NOT as
**  root).
**
**	NOTE:  This should work everywhere, but Linux has the ability
**	to use the undocumented setcap() call to make this break.
**
**  Compilation is trivial -- just "cc t_setuid.c".  Make it set-user-ID,
**  root and then execute it as a non-root user.
