[jlevine at utcnist.colorado.edu: Privilege separation]

[Ben Lindstrom]

Yes it's a known issue.  However I'm at a standstill until people get back
to me on solutions.  I've written a privsep patch, but there is an issue
as to how SIA sessions are initialized and handled that is tripping
everything up.

If I had an OSF/1 box w/ SIA it would be easier to debug, but alas I have
to depending on the kindless of strangers. =)
