We could have the kernel determine the real uid of the process that's initiating the mount and have the upcall use that instead of the uid= passed in via the mount options. Or...we could have the mount helper determine this and pass in a "creduid" in the mount options. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that we probably have existing users who are dependent on the current behavior. If we can come up with a way to transition them smoothly, then I'm all for making this change. -- Jeff Layton <[email protected]>
