-DNIX has a problem with seteuid() and setegid(). 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. Your LIBSM line will then look something like this:
-
-LIBSM = setegid.o seteuid.o -ln
-
-You should then remove the line:
-
-#define NO_EID
-
-from the DNIX section of includes.h
-
-Then recompile and try it out!
-
-Note that this file was derived from an email from Peter Olsson
-<pol@leissner.se>. I don't have DNIX myself, so you're probably better
-off contacting Peter if you have problems.
