/*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------*
 *
 * $Log: become.c,v $
 * Revision 1.15  1998/01/13 11:10:44  mdw
 * Add `TZ' to the list of variables to be preserved.
 *
 * Revision 1.14  1998/01/12 16:45:39  mdw
 * Fix copyright date.
 *
 * Revision 1.13  1997/09/26 09:14:57  mdw
 * Merged blowfish branch into trunk.
 *
 * Revision 1.12  1997/09/25 16:04:48  mdw
 * Change directory after becoming someone else, instead of before.  This
 * avoids problems with root-squashed NFS mounts.
 *
 * Revision 1.11.2.1  1997/09/26 09:07:58  mdw
 * Use the Blowfish encryption algorithm instead of IDEA.  This is partly
 * because I prefer Blowfish (without any particularly strong evidence) but
 * mainly because IDEA is patented and Blowfish isn't.
 *
 * Revision 1.11  1997/09/24  09:48:45  mdw
 * Fix (scary) overrun bug in group allocation stuff.
 *
 * Revision 1.10  1997/09/17  10:14:10  mdw
 * Fix a typo.  Support service names in `--port' option.
 *
 * Revision 1.9  1997/09/10 10:28:05  mdw
 * Allow default port to be given as a service name or port number.  Handle
 * groups properly (lots of options here).
 *
 * Revision 1.8  1997/09/08  13:56:24  mdw
 * Change criteria for expunging items from the user's PATH: instead of
 * removing things starting with `.', remove things not starting with `/'.
 *
 * Revision 1.7  1997/09/08  13:43:20  mdw
 * Change userid when creating tracefiles rather than fiddling with
 * `access': it works rather better.  Also, insert some stdio buffer
 * flushing to ensure tracedumps are completely written.
 *
 * Revision 1.6  1997/09/05  13:47:44  mdw
 * Make the `-L' (trace-level) option's argument optional, like the long
 * version is.
 *
 * Revision 1.5  1997/09/05  11:45:19  mdw
 * Add support for different login styles, and environment variable
 * manipulation in a safe and useful way.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  1997/08/20  16:15:13  mdw
 * Overhaul of environment handling.  Fix daft bug in path search code.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  1997/08/07 16:28:59  mdw
 * Do something useful when users attempt to become themselves.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  1997/08/04 10:24:20  mdw
 * Sources placed under CVS control.
 *
 * Revision 1.1  1997/07/21  13:47:54  mdw
 * Initial revision
 *
