s_leader to find the session id, store it in the session structure.
Jukka found the following info:
BTW - I just found what I have been looking for. Std 1003.1
Part 1: SYSTEM API [C LANGUAGE] section 2.2.2.80 states quite
explicitly...
Session lifetime: The period between when a session is created
and the end of lifetime of all the process groups that remain
as members of the session.
So, this quite clearly tells that while there is any single
process in any process group which is a member of the session,
the session remains as an independent entity.

proram from hanging after being traced. (E.g., "truss /usr/bin/rlogin" would
fail, but leave rlogin in a stopevent state.) Yet another case where procctl
is (hopefully ;)) no longer needed in the general case.

Don't return EPERM in setre[ug]id() just because the caller passes in
the current effective id in the second arg (ie: no change), as suggested
by ache.
This is valueable for library code which needs to be able to find out
whether the current process is or *was* set[ug]id at some point in the
past, and may have a "tainted" execution environment. This is especially
a problem with the trend to immediately revoke privs at startup and regain
them for critical sections. One problem with this is that if a cracker
is able to compromise the program while it's still got a saved id, the
cracker can direct the program to regain the privs. Another problem is
that the user may be able to affect the program in some other way (eg:
setting resolver host aliases) and the library code needs to know when it
should disable these sorts of features.

Inspired by: OpenBSD (but with a different implementation)
that allows traditional BSD setuid/setgid behavior.
The only visible difference should be that a non-root setuid program
(eg: inn's "rnews" program) that is setuid to news, can completely
"become" uid news. (ie: setuid(geteuid()) This was allowed in
traditional 4.2/4.3BSD and is now "blessed" by Posix as a special
case of "appropriate privilige".
Also, be much more careful with the P_SUGID flag so that we can use it
for issetugid() - only set it if something changed.

vector except for the egid in groups[0]. There is a risk that programs
that come from SYSV/Linux that expect this to work and don't check for
error returns may accidently pass root's groups on to child processes.
We now do what is least suprising (to non BSD programs/programmers) in
this scenario, and nothing is changed for programs written with BSD groups
rules in mind.

never used LISP to any extent). So I compiled the kernel with -Wall and
shut up a lot of "suggest you add ()'s", removed a bunch of unused var's
and added a couple of declarations here and there. Having a lap-top is
highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.
