[updated patch 5/7] BSD Secure Levels: allow setuid/setgid on root user processes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch is applies cleanly against the new printk() patch.  It
allows setuid and setgid on a process if the user is already root.
This allows non-root users to log in.
