https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D280809 Bug ID: 280809 Summary: jail_attach(2) fails to document reason for EPERM Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: karlo98.m@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 252746 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D252746&action= =3Dedit Documents this behavior in lib/libc/sys/jail.2 In jail_attach(2) the only reason listed for EPERM is if the user not root while attempting to attach to a jail. Running into that errno in my program I was puzzled because uid was 0 - so = that could not have been the problem. After help from other people I found out that there might be other, undocumented, reasons for getting that errno. Specifically, the issue was that the process was holding a directory FD open while trying to attach, which is prohibited. A sentence describing this behavior should be added to "[EPERM]" in jail_attach(2) "ERRORS" section. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
