Subject: [patch 5/7] BSD Secure Levels: allow setuid/setgid on root user processes
Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 10:30:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050517153011.GD2944@halcrow.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050517152303.GA2814@halcrow.us>
This is the fifth in a series of seven patches to the BSD Secure
Levels LSM. It allows setuid and setgid on a process if the user is
already root. This allows non-root users to log in. Thanks to Serge
Hallyn for the suggestion.
