From a36be30e082d0208ca8b6215928069e9f3d4f7b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Volker Lendecke Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 16:51:08 +0000 Subject: Merge from 3_0: After a phonecall with jra finally commit this. This changes our behaviour when the setresuid call is available. We now not only change the effective uid but also the real uid when becoming unprivileged. This is mainly for improved AFS compatibility, as AFS selects the token to send to the server based on the real uid of the process. I tested this with a W2k server with two non-root 'runas' sessions. They come in via a single smbd as two different users using two session setups. Samba on Linux can still switch between the two uids, proved by two different files created via those sessions.
