I have a system call which should kill all processes for a given uid. Now, I am confused about which uid to use(real or effecctive) of the processes when killing them. Example scenario: userids A, B, C A is super-user(root) so using my system call he can kill processes of any other user. Also, user C is running a process with ruid C but euid B(giving him possibly higher privilege). Now if A calls my system call asking to kill all processes of uid B, should my system call also kill the process started by C but running as B. Thanks, Divyesh Shah. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
