No, this hasn't been done. The 'seteuid' calls are removed but now it requires modification of the permissions. We would gain from the fact to run with seteuid(0) but setfsuid(!=0) and it would also allow to use directly the host keys without the need to copy the host certificates and/or change the permissions. If the effective uid is 0 we can temporarily change the ID in one of the xrootd threads without doing any harm. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/67#issuecomment-30500899 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
