Re^3: Not understanding the code to drop privileges in perlsec

Also, despite intensive tests, I have never encountered a situation where $UID / $GID were different from $orig_UID / $orig_GID at line 7, so I don't understand the sense of this assignment and how it drops privileges.

That may be more of a Linux/Unix question than a Perl question -- and it's nothing I can help you with. :) Good luck!
