Date: Thu, 10 Jul 86 7:55:58 EDT From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@BRL.ARPA> Someone has pointed out to me that the mkdir() I posted doesn't ensure that the directory ends up owned by the effective-UID. There are technical reasons why this is very difficult; I have a somewhat improved version (still doesn't work right for EUID other than real or 0). It may be possible to completely fix this on a real UNIX System V, where there is a useful chown(), but since I don't have one I can't test that. If there is sufficient interest I can repost my collection of public-domain implementations of various new features of the standards. Send me your improvements, please. Thanks. - Gwyn@BRL.ARPA Volume-Number: Volume 6, Number 28
