Re: [PATCH user-cr] return, don't exist, at coord error

Hmm, well...  I dont' know what's going on with my userspace,
Now it's not working for me even with this patch.

As root I do:

	setcap cap_sys_admin+pe /bin/restart
	ckpt > /tmp/out

then as a non-rootuid I do
	cat /tmp/out | /bin/retart -vd
	echo $?

giving me:
[hallyn@linuz11 ~]$ /bin/restart -vd  < /tmp/out

[hallyn@linuz11 ~]$ echo $?
0

And when I previously added a debug statement at
the end of main() printin gout the return value, it would
say 'returning 0' even though 'restart failed ?' in the
restart -vd output inicates that ret < 0.

Note that if you don't set cap_sys_admin+pe on
/bin/restart, then restart does return 255 (-1).

I'm done for the day - will have to look at it more
tomorrow.
