Administering privilege

Privileges associated with a file

Each executable file on the system can have two privilege sets. These are:

These sets are disjoint, that is, a privilege can not be defined as both fixed and inheritable for the same file. If an executable file does not require any privileges then both sets are empty.


NOTE: Inheritable privileges are unused in this release. They are present for future work only, and can be safely ignored.
