Michael Kerrisk 6923f52c33 NOTES: Pthreads requires that all threads share the same UIDs and 
GIDs.  But the Linux kernel maintains separate UIDs and GIDs for
every thread.  NPTL does some work to ensure that credential
changes by any thread are carried through to all POSIX threads in
a process.

Michael Kerrisk de9957dcf7 This is some corrections for hier.7: 
- missing period for /media and /mnt
- /mnt description is not totally correct, it is true for some
distributions but in others /mnt is used as a temporary FS mount point,
as it is specified by FHS:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MNTMOUNTPOINTFORATEMPORARILYMOUNT
- s/X-Windows/X-Window/ (3 occurrences)
- section "SEE ALSO": s/mount(1)/mount(8)/
