Is it (for the RUID, you)?

This could be managed by separating the display access to RUID and doing 
the work using the permissions it gets from the SetUID bit. I don't know 
if this is that easy to do in the current code. Maybe Mr. Collins knows 
off from head (i.e. playing *UID switching for API access and user 
interface).

Sorry, no real help there.
