Subject"trapdoor uid"?
DateMon, 25 Nov 1996 10:37:30 +0100 (MET)

Hallo,

 Recently I started using smbd on my linux box. I got these warnings in
 log.smb and in syslog:

  Warning: You appear to have a trapdoor uid system
  Warning: You appear to have a trapdoor gid system

 From 'man smbd' I learned, that the program was unable to change its uid
 to root and back.
 Is this a (local) misconfiguration (and what should I do to correct it)
 or just a Linux property (and why do we have it so)?

Thanks,

 Ulf
