Subject: root-owned /proc/pid files for threaded apps?
Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 22:01:10 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020307060110.GA303@lorien.emufarm.org> (raw)

I just upgraded from 2.4.8-pre3-ac2 to 2.4.19-pre2-ac2, and found that
for threaded programs like mozilla and xmms, files in /proc/<pid> are
owned by root, even if the process belongs to another user.  I
particularly wanted to be able to read /proc/<pid>/environ, but I can't.

Is this a known problem?  I haven't seen it float by.

I'll backtrack kernels to see if I can find the patch that caused it and
report back if I hear nothing.

Thanks,
Danek
