Show user -id/ group -id changes with :include: reads

Debug command-line switch

The -d27.9 debugging switch causes sendmail to trace the setting and resetting of its user-id and group-id identities when processing :include : and ~/.forward files. First, an additional line is printed below the output of the -d27.2 and -d27.4 debugging switches:

 include(  file   )    printed with -d27.2  ruid=  real-user-id  euid=  effective-user-id    printed with -d27.4  include: old uid =  real-user-id/effective-user-id  

The second and third lines contain the same information. After the new line is printed, sendmail might or might not change its identity depending on the nature of a :include : or ~/.forward file and that file's controlling user. Regardless of whether it changed, sendmail prints:

 include: new uid =  real-user-id/effective-user-id  

After sendmail has finished processing a :include : or ~/.forward file, it resets its user-id and group-id back to their original values and displays the result:

 include: reset uid =  real-user-id/effective-user-id
