#R:alice:-84100:pur-ee:13000007:000:650 pur-ee!malcolm Aug 7 22:32:00 1982 Writing the sequencer information out after all done with notes does not help when reading them. Here at Purdue (EE) students can lose their grade in some classes if the directory with their homework is readable. The only solution I can think of is the following sequence: 1) Process 1 is not setuid and reads the sequencer information and passes it to the setuid program that does the real work. 2) After everything is done then setuid(getuid()) to rewrite the sequencing information. (Good idea). This is almost as gross as some of the code coming from....(Oops, I better not say), but I can't think of a better way. Malcolm
