Category: other Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jon Griffin (tresero) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Patch for -g option Initial Comment: Fixes bad uid/gid parsing in nsmain. Now it acutally works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jon Griffin (tresero) Date: 2002-01-28 09:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=440916 Linux, no -z. It definitly fails without the patch. If I want to run with a user as -u and nsadmin as -g and had the aol files in /opt/aolserver but the config and web files in /home/user then without world read permissions it fails with permission errors. With the patch and everything else the same all worked as expected. In reading the code it appears that the getuid also gets gid if the user == 0. Thus it bypassed the -g argument. Isn't -z just for zippy memory or does it do more? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kriston Rehberg (kriston) Date: 2002-01-28 07:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=16427 On which platforms does this fail? Do you use the "z" option while starting up? We have been using -g and -u forever on Solaris, SGI, and some other platforms and it works.
