a collection of new messages mailed to the members of an archived list as one message. A list is called digested when it is archived and, periodically, a digest is sent out.
an identification number assigned to files, directories, and processes to restrict access--similar to UID except multiple people can be a member of a group. On Unix-type systems, groups can be set up (defined in the /etc/group file). When a user name is a member of a group, she can access files created with that GID (assuming permissions allow it). .:: tool.toponseek.com ::.
a program, such as Sendmail, responsible for passing mail from one location to another.
a file attribute which allows a program to run with specific group privileges no matter who executes it.
(SendMail Restricted SHell) the shell that Sendmail uses to execute programs. .:: telegra.ph ::. smrsh puts restrictions on the programs that can be run to make it safer than using a regular shell such as the Bourne Shell. .:: slidehtml5.com ::. .:: how-to-index-my-site-on-google.vercel.app ::.
a file attribute which allows a program to run as a specific user no matter who executes it. [Ransomware Definition]
an identification number assigned to files directories, and processes--similar to GID except every user has a unique UID. Every process must run under a UID (the one-to-one relationship between the UID and user name is defined in [Web Specs: Penetration testing] /etc/passwd). The process' UID determines what the program can access. In general a regular user can change the permissions on files that she owns unless the UID is 0 (the root user). In that case, root can modify any files on the system.
a program used to start another program; usually a wrapper is SUID or SGID so it can bestow privileges onto another program that the other program would not normally have.
