It might be better to just explain what it's doing, basically fooling the application into seeing the current user as being uid/gid == 0 if the user has admin rights. But, this reminds me. Some users are running fetchmail/procmail/mutt without the detour over using an MTA, for instance: $ grep mda ~/.fetchmailrc mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" Will this still work as expected, even if the user is member of the admin group? Keep in mind that Windows XP/2003 are not providing UAC at all, and even on UAC-providing systems, it might be switched off.
