Summary A wrapper for privilege separation
Description * Allows uid switching as a normal user. * Start any application making it believe it is running as root. * Support for user/group changing in the local thread using the syscalls (like glibc). * More precisely this library intercepts seteuid and related calls, and simulates them in a manner similar to the nss_wrapper and socket_wrapper libraries. Some projects like a file server need privilege separation to be able to switch to the connection user and do file operations. uid_wrapper convincingly lies to the application letting it believe it is operating as root and even switching between UIDs and GIDs as needed.
