Removed words "as well" (added in 2.11) from the phrase
|
|
|
|
|
"and it gets these last five capabilities if its fsuid is 0 as well"
|
|
|
|
|
since there are (unusual) situations in which fsuid can be 0 while
|
|
|
|
|
the effective UID is not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Add text to note that setresuid() always modifies the file
|
|
|
|
|
system UID, and setresgid() likewise always modifies the file
|
|
|
|
|
system GID.
