I have noticed that some users who have been given extra priveleges
like PHY_IO, LOG_IO, and SHARE cannot set their privs in a spawned
process, unless they are DEFAULT PRIVS as well.

However, when I spawn out of GNUmacs, {C-x, C-z} I can set mine if the
top process had SETPRV too. Is there a way that the privs for others
are mapped into their sub-process without changing their privs to
DEFAULT ?

<>

Or are they doing something wrong when they run a MORE_PRIV.COM
which simply is SET/PROC/PRIV=whatever
