Feature #6975: Changing UID/GID when calling spawn/popen
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6975

Hello,

If I am not wrong it seems that there is no way to properly drop all privileges when spawning a process with spawn/popen.

AFAIK, proper privilege dropping should be done after the fork() and before the exec() and there doesn't seem to be such functionality neither an hook like Python has.

Thanks,
Bye,
