- * This is defined as a macro, but at some point this might become a
- * real subroutine that sets a flag if it returns true (to do

- * privs).  The implication of this is that you should do normal
- * permissions checks first, and check suser() last.
- *
  * "suser()" checks against the effective user id, while "fsuser()"
  * is used for file permission checking and checks against the fsuid..
