1. Parent PID change desired

Greetings!

     It would be extremely helpful to us if we could change the parent PID.
We don't have the source to the System V, Release 3 version of Unix we're
running, and I haven't yet located in which data structure and offset the
parent PID is stored.

     We need to make a child process owned by something OTHER than the
parent, yet the parent process is (and must be) still around.  When we
nohup it, AND log out the process, it's Parent PID is changed, appropriately,
to 1 (init).  However, we need the child to have the Parent PID of 1
*without* losing the "true" parent process.

     Anyone know how I might do this?

     Thank you!
