Hi Tobias,

I am considering your suggestion of using sGid instead of an SUID
belonging to root. As I told you, that is a good suggestion worthy of
trying. If that works, it will be yet another improvement which is
welcome by everyone. After all, this is what discussion is for.
Projects are improved if they are the result of thinking from a group
of people instead of just one mind.

Best Regards,
Edward
