question about temporarily_use_uid()
...ying to
connect to the server. the reason is getgroups
function in temporarily_use_uid() has a limit
NGROUPS_MAX. this is defined to be 8 on dgux(limits.h)
but for the group I belong to , there are more than 8
members. (and there are other groups on the system
have more than 8 members). And when I ruduce the group
member to 8. everything worked fine.
the error message is
getgroups: invalid argument.
Can I safely skip the temporarily_use_uid() function,
what would be the consequences of doing so..
thanks very much..
PS. i'm not on this list. please reply to my email
address. thanks again....
