Deprecation
- The setuid utility is no longer used as it is considered a security risk.
- There are several alternative ways how to access files owned by a different user:
- use of Agents that can be operated to run in multiple instances for different accounts from the same Agent installation
- use of operating system permissions, e.g. ACLs, to allow access to a file
- use of sudo and su to switch the user context
