Re: [ts-7000] FYI: setuid + pthreads is bad!

[Robert Ulbrich <>]

Ian,

Right, lenny is distributed with the newer pthreads library which implements NPTL, which is AFAIK POSIX-compliant. We've upgraded some of our units to lenny, which has given better results. I believe though, that NPTL pthreads also suffers from the same problems when using setuid from multiple threads.

I'm running lenny on my TS-7800, where the pthread library is
libpthread-2.7.so.
