- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto - Fix for default mtree style - Update libelf - Importing libexecinfo - Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr - build.sh: Replace params with show-params. This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same way, while a new target named params has been added. This new target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of printing it on the console. - Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org) get getservbyport() out of the inner loop Change-Id: Ie6ad5226fa2621ff9f0dee8782ea48f9443d2091

could grow some flags and a username/uid who is the expected owner
|
|
of the tty.
|
|
If the flags say so then the owner should be checked against the tty
|
|
owner, and the message should not be sent if there is a mismatch.
|
|
Also another flag could say check against group writable, and don't
|
|
send a message.
