end

.change_group(group, permanently = false) ⇒ Object

Changes the egid of the process if ‘permanently` is not set, otherwise changes gid. This method will fail if used on Windows, or attempting to change to a different gid without root.

  if permanently

  end
end

.change_privileges(uid = nil, gid = nil, permanently = false) ⇒ Object

If ‘permanently` is set, will permanently change the uid/gid of the process. If not, it will only set the euid/egid. If only uid is supplied, the primary group of the supplied gid will be used. If only gid is supplied, only gid will be changed. This method will fail if used on Windows.

.change_user(user, permanently = false) ⇒ Object

As change_group, but operates on uids. If changing user permanently, supplementary groups will be set the to default groups for the new uid.

    #We catch Errno::EINVAL as some operating systems (OS X in particular) can

    # and 4.3BSD but not in POSIX.1-2001) that fails and sets errno to EINVAL.
    #
    # This does not appear to be a problem with Ruby but rather an issue on the

.initgroups(uid) ⇒ Object

Initialize primary and supplemental groups to those of the target user. We take the UID and manually look up their details in the system database, including username and primary group. This method will fail on Windows, or if used without root to initgroups of another user.
