I am pleased to (belatedly) announce the release of userv 1.2.3.

userv (pronounced you-serve) is a program which, according to the
specification, is

   a Unix system facility to allow one program to invoke another when
   only limited trust exists between them.

Its slogan is:
  _Put the security boundary where it ought to be._

It is a tool for system administrators, who often find themselves with
a program running as one user which needs to be able to do certain
things as another user.

It is also a component for application authors who wish to do what is
now known as `privsep', using a process call interface.

For more information about userv, please see:

This is the first release I've formally announced here for some time.
My apologies for that oversight.  The changes since the last version I
announced here were all released to Debian, and are almost entirely
inconsequential build fixes and minor documentation improvements.

There is one bugfix since 1.2.0:

  * Do not leak a harmless fd into the service program.


userv source code can be obtained from my git servers:
