.Dd November 11, 2003 .Dt CR_SEEOTHERGIDS 9 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm cr_seeothergids .Nd determine visibility of objects given their group memberships .Sh SYNOPSIS .Ft int .Fn cr_seeothergids "struct ucred *u1" "struct ucred *u2" .Sh DESCRIPTION This function determines the visibility of objects in the kernel based on the group IDs in the credentials .Fa u1 and .Fa u2 associated with them.
p The visibility of objects is influenced by the .Xr sysctl 8 variable .Va security.bsd.see_other_gids . If this variable is non-zero then all objects in the kernel are visible to each other irrespective of their group membership. If this variable is zero then the object with credentials .Fa u2 is visible to the object with credentials .Fa u1 if either .Fa u1 is the super-user credential, or if at least one of .Fa u1 Ns 's group IDs is present in .Fa u2 Ns 's group set. .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES l -tag -width indent t Va security.bsd.see_other_gids Must be non-zero if objects with unprivileged credentials are to be able to see each other. .El .Sh RETURN VALUES This function returns zero if the object with credential .Fa u1 can .Dq see the object with credential .Fa u2 , or .Er ESRCH otherwise. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cr_seeotheruids 9 , .Xr p_candebug 9
