These routines are -needed for Samba to work correctly, but they were left out of the DNIX -C library for some reason. - -For this reason Samba by default defines the macro NO_EID in the DNIX -section of includes.h. This works around the problem in a limited way, -but it is far from ideal, some things still won't work right. - -To fix the problem properly you need to assemble the following two -functions and then either add them to your C library or link them into -Samba. - -put this in the file setegid.s: - - .globl _setegid -_setegid: - moveq #47,d0 - movl #100,a0 - moveq #1,d1 - movl 4(sp),a1 - trap #9 - bccs 1$ - jmp cerror -1$: - clrl d0 - rts - - -put this in the file seteuid.s: - - .globl _seteuid -_seteuid: - moveq #47,d0 - movl #100,a0 - moveq #0,d1 - movl 4(sp),a1 - trap #9 - bccs 1$ - jmp cerror -1$: - clrl d0 - rts - -after creating the above files you then assemble them using - -as seteuid.s -as setegid.s - -that should produce the files seteuid.o and setegid.o - -then you need to add these to the LIBSM line in the DNIX section of -the Samba Makefile.
