/*
**  This program checks to see if your version of seteuid works.
**  Compile it, make it set-user-ID root, and run it as yourself (NOT as
**  root).  If it won't compile or outputs any MAYDAY messages, don't
**  define USESETEUID in conf.h.
**
**	NOTE:  It is not sufficient to have seteuid in your library.
**	You must also have saved uids that function properly.
**
**  Compilation is trivial -- just "cc t_seteuid.c".  Make it set-user-ID
**  root and then execute it as a non-root user.
