After changing permissions of /var/mail directory to 755: $ chmod 755 /var/mail
everything is fine and seteuid(2) is not called: 92121 lockspool NAMI "/var/mail/root.lock" 92121 lockspool RET unlink 0 92121 lockspool CALL kbind(0x7f7ffffc7f58,24,0xefbb72852ff02523) 92121 lockspool RET kbind 0 92121 lockspool CALL exit(0) Killing lockspool(1) by pledge(2) happens when permissions of /var/mail are greater than 755. Maybe it would be useful to give user an indication that it is the permission issue instead of killing the process by pledge? What do you think?
