Don't know if it's related but, the header file errno.h should be included as this: include <errno.h> if it's located in /usr/include and not include </usr/include/errno.h>. – htor Feb 7 '12 at 8:25

This isn't really on topic here, it's a programming question. And it would be shot down on Stack Overflow. Please paste your (relevant) code as text, never as images. Same for your output. (Now your problem is: don't call perror if no error has happened. Check the return values of your system calls.) – Mat Feb 7 '12 at 8:25
what use do screenshots have here? Why don't you just paste the text? Looks much cleaner... Plus, people can help you better without having to type all in again... – glglgl Feb 7 '12 at 9:23
Also, according to the man page, getuid() always succeeds. – Ansgar Esztermann Feb 7 '12 at 9:42
thx,i got that.because i am running a primitive linux,crux,in the vmware,it is not easy to copy the prompt out.But,anyway,i will type it first next time – kaiwii ho Feb 8 '12 at 1:00

You are printing random error messages since igetuid() did not (and can not) fail. You only use perror() after a system call fails, and only once.
