Subject: Can someone with NIS check this?
Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


the environment:
2.1 machine
a chroot tree with complete 2.2 environment
NIS used for UID foo in both real and chroot environs.

the actions:

su root
cd /chroot
chroot .
id
(see that uid is 0)
su foo
id
(see that uid is still 0)

can anyone confirm that this does/doesn't occur
in an all 2.2 environ?

if uid 'foo' is in the chroot/etc/passwd (and friends)
then su works and the 2nd id(1) shows that the uid has in fact changed
to 'foo'.

Unfortunatly I have onlt a couple of machines here using NIS
so I can't do more experiments as they are all 2.1.
