[clue-tech] Using SUID to downgrade root's access

[Angelo Bertolli]

I've been trying to set the SUID bit to make an executable (in this case 
a shell script) run as a certain user.  In particular this is something 
I'd like to be run as "nobody."  So I used `chown nobody` and `chmod u+s`

I tried running it as a regular user, but it still gets executed as that 
user.  In particular I wanted to do this so that if this program gets 
run in cron as root, it's actually downgraded to "nobody" to ensure that 
there is no code which might do something weird.

Am I going about this the right way?
