/*
 * On non-Windows supported platforms, fs.access(readOnlyFile, W_OK, ...)
 * always succeeds if node runs as the super user, which is sometimes the
 * case for tests running on our continuous testing platform agents.
 *
 * In this case, this test tries to change its process user id to a
 * non-superuser user so that the test that checks for write access to a
 * read-only file can be more meaningful.
 *
 * The change of user id is done after creating the fixtures files for the same
 * reason: the test may be run as the superuser within a directory in which
 * only the superuser can create files, and thus it may need superuser
 * priviledges to create them.
 *
 * There's not really any point in resetting the process' user id to 0 after
 * changing it to 'nobody', since in the case that the test runs without
 * superuser priviledge, it is not possible to change its process user id to
 * superuser.
 *
 * It can prevent the test from removing files created before the change of user
 * id, but that's fine. In this case, it is the responsability of the
 * continuous integration platform to take care of that.
