Please review the changes that fix JDK-8197387. There are 2 problems here: 1. JVM ignores .attach_pid<pid> file if it is owned by the user different from the one that owns this JVM process 2. jcmd checks that .java_pid<pid> socket is owned by the same user that runs jcmd and reports an error otherwise
The fix relaxes these checks to allow jcmd started by "root" (UID = 0) access JVMs started by another users. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8197387 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dtitov/8197387/webrev.01/ Best regards, Daniil
