setuid() sets the effective user ID of the calling process. If the effective UID of the caller is root, the real UID and saved set-user-ID are also set. On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. there are cases where setuid() can fail even when the caller is UID 0; it is a grave security error to omit checking for a failure return from setuid(). if an environment limits the number of processes a user can have, setuid() might fail if the target uid already is at the limit. Fix is to check return value of setuid.
