Correct; I can tell from experience with pam_mount. GDM for example is very unhappy if you fork/exit processes in PAM modules and don't hide the fact by bending SIGCHLD from gdm_handler to mypam_handler (which itself is racy, suppose GDM re-set the SIGCHLD handler midway through). (In this particular case however, I'd prefer if login programs like GDM just ignored any PIDs they did not spawn in the first place instead of moaning around.) _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list contain...@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
