.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn cr_seeotheruids "struct ucred *u1" "struct ucred *u2"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function determines the visibility of objects in the
|
|
kernel based on the real user ids in the credentials
|
|
.Fa u1
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa u2
|
|
associated with them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The visibility of objects is influenced by the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
tunable
|
|
.Va security.bsd.see_other_uids .
|
|
If this tunable is non-zero, then all objects in the kernel
|
|
are visible to each other irrespective of their user ids.
|
|
If this tunable is zero, then the object with credentials
|
|
.Fa u2
|
|
is visible to the object with credentials
|
|
.Fa u1
|
|
if either
|
|
.Fa u1
|
|
is the super-user credential, or if
|
|
.Fa u1
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa u2
|
|
have the same real user id.
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL TUNABLES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va security.bsd.see_other_uids
|
|
must be non-zero if objects with unprivileged credentials are to be
|
|
able to see each other.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Ths function returns zero if the object with credential
|
|
.Fa u1
|
|
can
|

|
|
the object with credential
|
|
.Fa u2 ,
|
