Just to throw an idea out: you can also do something like

#ifndef NO_POSIX_GOODIES
struct credentials {
};
#else
struct credentials {
       struct passwd *pass;
       gid_t gid;
}
#endif

and pass a pointer to credentials around.
Yes, but that structure still needs to be filled somehow. I'm not sure
how this solves anything, really. Isn't it essentially another way of
wrapping an ifdef around the parameters inside main() (at least when
I've inlined serve() into main())?
quoted
#ifndef HAVE_POSIX_GOODIES
static int drop_privileges(...)
{
       return error("--user and --group not supported on this platform");
}
#endif
static int drop_privileges(...)
{
       ...
       do
       something
       ...
}
#endif

would make serve() look like

static int serve(...)
{
       int socknum, *socklist;

       ... setup socket ...

       if (want to drop privileges) {
               if (drop_privileges(...))
                       return -1;
       }

       return service_loop(socknum, socklist);
}

which should be quite readable even to a person only interested in the
!HAVE_POSIX_GOODIES case imho.  With some code rearrangement it could
be made nicer.  Now compare:

static int serve(...)
{
       int socknum, *socklist;

       ... setup socket ...

#ifdef HAVE_POSIX_GOODIES
       ...
       do
       things
       ...
#endif

       return service_loop(socknum, socklist);
}

Just my two cents.  Sorry I do not have something more substantive to
say.
You're leaving out the troublesome part, namely the glue between "if
(user_name)" in main(), and the "want to drop privileges"-stuff in
serve().

I could do a "struct credentials *cred = NULL;"  in main(), and assign
that inside "if (user_name)". But that'd leave a warning about
unreachable code in drop_privileges(), no?
OK, I did another stab at this, and this is the best I could come up
with right now, what do you think?
