Re: Any ideas with xterm/xfree problem?


Chris,

Here is a better patch taking care of both uid and gid.
It was tested against the situations created by Harold
for xterm. AFAIK proper passwd/group are needed for ssh.

The goal is to allow seteuid/gid to itself even when passwd
and/or group are not properly setup.
Please revert the previous one.

	* syscalls.c (seteuid32): Return immediately if the program is
	not impersonated and both uid and gid are original.
	(setegid32): Return immediately if the new gid is the current egid.
