cperciva 2004-07-26 07:54:39 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/kern kern_fork.c Log: In revision 1.228, I accidentally broke the "total number of processes in the system" resource limit code: When checking if the caller has superuser privileges, we should be checking the *real* user, not the *effective* user. (In general, resource limiting is done based on the real user, in order to avoid resource-exhaustion-by-setuid-program attacks.) Now that a SUSER_RUID flag to suser_cred exists, use it here to return this code to its correct behaviour. Pointed out by: rwatson Revision Changes Path 1.231 +2 -1 src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c
