Well, if you can't call getcwd, then it won't work... (I was not suggesting that the getcwd call be wedged inside namei) > Of course, if you consider that acceptable, then fine.

We'll probably end up doing it on every exec, since there's currently no way to tell from the ELF headers whether $ORIGIN needs to be set (this should be considered a bug) but failure is ok for that. In compat_svr4 I doubt anyone cares much if it fails in corner cases. -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
