/*
there are times when smbd needs to temporarily gain root privileges
to do some operation. To do this you call root_privileges(), which
returns a talloc handle. To restore your previous privileges
talloc_free() this pointer.
Note that this call is considered successful even if it does not
manage to gain too privileges, but it will call smb_abort() if it
fails to restore the privileges afterwards. The logic is that
failing to gain root access can be caught by whatever operation
needs to be run as root failing, but failing to lose the root
privileges is dangerous.
This also means that this code is safe to be called from completely
unprivileged processes.
