arch@ - Isilon has need of per-thread impersonation. We're looking at implementing something like the pthread_setugid_np mechanism found on OS X, loosely documented in the code: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/kern_prot.c?v=xnu-1228 (see settid and setgroups1) and some here: http://lists.apple.com/archives/perfoptimization-dev/2008/Jan/msg00043.html Does anyone have strong objections to Apple's APIs here? There's obviously no portable itnerface to handle it, and it seems a little saner to just adopt someone else's API/semantics rather than reinvent. -- Zach Loafman | Staff Engineer | Isilon Systems
