| |
If a connection proxies a uid, we should make sure to perform accounting on that passed uid. Otherwise, limits will be shared across all proxied users (or we'd require the proxy to run setuid() and thus require CAP_SETUID). However, this is only allowed if the proxy is privileged on the bus. That is, it must have CAP_IPC_ADMIN on the domain and the passed uid must be mapped in that domain.
