Yes. I think this one is trivial too. Here is the effective change in copy_process(): - attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PGID, find_pid(pgid)); - attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_SID, find_pid(sid)); + attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PGID, task_pgrp(current)); + attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_SID, task_session(current)); | | Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
