Am I staring at this crooked, or not looking deep enough? My manual page for
prctl says 2 is valid there. Specifically:
Since kernel 2.6.13, the value 2 is also permitted; this causes
any binary which normally would not be dumped to be dumped read-
able by root only. (See also the description of
/proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable in proc(5).)
...has something changed, and my manpages don't reflect it? Did I miss a
conversation about this?
Thanks,
Chase
