The patch does add a runtime option, but see the next paragraph for a better way to escape PAGs. An afsd option would be better, but libafs has already been loaded and the setgroups wrapper installed when afsd is started, so that would make things a bit more complicated. Doable and less Linux-specific though. Anyway, while I still wouldn't mind having the above option, I see now that it would probably be a better idea to add an AFSCALL_UNSETPAG that returns the process to the default PAG. Only root should be allowed to do that. This should be portable across different operating systems, hopefully including any future in-kernel keyring based PAG implementations. /abo _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
