Kernel Change-UID
kchuid is an experimental Linux kernel module that allows you to change the UID/GID/CAPS of a running process (by PID). Think of it as providing a setuid() system call that also has a pid_t argument. It's the first step in a full authentication system, and further, a full Unixish system devoid of setuid binaries/scripts.
