I have a program (which normally runs as root) which can start child processes as different users. Effectively, my program is a modified version of popen2's Popen3 class where the child process (after the fork) does:
os.setregid (gid, gid) os.setreuid (uid, uid) session_pid = os.setsid () This all seems to work. However, I am running into a problem where the environment of the new process still carries values that were set before the setreuid() call. What would be the best way to go about modifying the environment without having to re-implement all the functionality of the 'su' command? I could use it (the 'su' command) to start the new process but I'd like to avoid external dependencies like that. Thank you -- Mitko Haralanov ========================================== The program isn't debugged until the last user is dead. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
