|

| 32 | there are times when smbd needs to temporarily gain root privileges
|
|---|
| 33 | to do some operation. To do this you call root_privileges(), which
|
|---|
| 34 | returns a talloc handle. To restore your previous privileges
|
|---|
| 35 | talloc_free() this pointer.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Note that this call is considered successful even if it does not
|
|---|
| 38 | manage to gain root privileges, but it will call smb_abort() if it
|
|---|
| 39 | fails to restore the privileges afterwards. The logic is that
|
|---|
| 40 | failing to gain root access can be caught by whatever operation
|
|---|
| 41 | needs to be run as root failing, but failing to lose the root
|
|---|
| 42 | privileges is dangerous.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | This also means that this code is safe to be called from completely
|

| 45 | unprivileged processes.
