There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm issetugid
|
|
.Nd is current process tainted by uid or gid changes
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn issetugid void
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn issetugid
|
|
function returns 1 if the process environment or memory address space
|
|
is considered
|
|
.Dq tainted ,
|
|
and returns 0 otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A process is tainted if it was created as a result of an
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
system call which had either of the setuid or setgid bits set (and extra
|
|
privileges were given as a result) or if it has changed any of its real,
|
|
effective or saved user or group ID's since it began execution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This system call exists so that library routines (e.g., libc, libtermcap)
|
|
can reliably determine if it is safe to use information
|
|
that was obtained from the user, in particular the results from
|
|
.Xr getenv 3
|
|
should be viewed with suspicion if it is used to control operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Dq tainted
|
|
status is inherited by child processes as a result of the
|
|
.Xr fork 2
|
|
system call (or other library code that calls fork, such as
|
|
.Xr popen 3 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is assumed that a program that clears all privileges as it prepares
|
|
to execute another will also reset the environment, hence the
|
|
.Dq tainted
|
|
status will not be passed on.
|
|
This is important for programs such as
|
|
.Xr su 1
|
|
which begin setuid but need to be able to create an untainted process.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn issetugid
|
|
function is always successful, and no return value is reserved to
|
|
indicate an error.
