[Tutor] os.setuid(euid) function

[Kirk Bailey]

Ok, in the os module, is the command 'seteuid(wuid)'. I tried this with 'root' 
and as 0 (zero) as the arguement provided, and both ways it barks.

Here is the error logged for each:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLlistkill2.py", line 68, in ?
     os.seteuid('root')				# DIG, this is important. We are setting
AttributeError: seteuid

ok, what does it want me to provide as an attribute? For what it is worth, the 
ID function declares that when I am root, my uid is 0, and my gid is 0 (zero).
For example:
(beware wordwrap)
ns# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 2(kmem), 3(sys), 4(tty), 
5(operator), 20(staff), 31(guest), 100(webadmin)
ns#

Any suggestions?
