Why not? Doesn't ruid!=euid have the same implications as in Unix? (I.e., that a setuid program was executed, and no code since then has destroyed that information.) In Unix, if I run setuid program foo, and foo runs program bar, then the dynamic loader, noticing that ruid!=euid, will ignore LD_PRELOAD, etc., when loading bar. (Right?) This is because LD_PRELOAD is under the control of a user different from the one whose privileges we have now. Isn't the same true for the Hurd? As I said, I really don't know the Hurd, so this is just out of curiosity. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
