Hi folks :) this is a patch series adding setnullauth () to libshouldbeinlibc and demonstrating its use for dropping unix privileges in the null and tmpfs translators. A nullauth utility is provided to start arbitrary programs without any privileges. This can be used to run the translator on /dev/zero without privileges.
