Description-en: `user services' - program call across trust boundaries
userv allows one program to invoke another when only limited trust
exists between them. It is a tool which can be used to avoid having
to give other system services root privilege, and which allows users
to more securely have programs provide services to others.
.
userv can be useful as `glue' for system administrators; there are
not many full-blown userv-using applications yet.
