That has to be done inside the same process. But imagine this
scenario: You have a program that gets invoked as root (or some other
user than yourself), and you're trying to fiddle with what it sees.
You don't have root access, but you can manipulate the file system, to
the extent that your userid has access. What can you do to affect this
other program?
