Log:
Introduce modules/system, and mod_unixd.c
mod_unixd.c is only os/unix/unixd.c, turned into a module.
(or more accurately, an ugly hack). Work in progress, and the
old unixd will have to go once the module build stuff is in place.
....
Just a remark. In all current MPM's ap_run_child_init runs with the root
privileges already dropped. In the simple MPM this is now different in
general (we are running with root priviledges here). But as mod_unixd
registers an APR_HOOK_FIRST hook this will not make a difference for
most modules as their child_init hooks are still run with the
privileges already dropped.
As said just a remark and no comment as I haven't made up my mind
so far if this is good or bad.
Yup, I want to make a new hook, 'drop_privileges', and move most of
mod_unixd to using it -- and then restore the existing behavior to
child_init.
