I'm documenting the fields of certain auditd messages for RHEL 4. Amongst the SYSCALL fields are the following uid/gid related fields.

uid (obvious)
gid (obvious)
euid (obvious)
suid - what's this?
fsuid - what's this?
egid (obvious)
sgid - what's this?
fsgid - what's this?

Can anybody fill in the blanks for me?

Thanks,

Matt

The fsuid & fsgid are set from setfsuid().
