Hi,
With recent snapshots, I noted a warning in compilation on Red Hat Linux
7.3 system with glibc 2.2.5:
uidswap.c: In function `permanently_set_uid':
uidswap.c:155: warning: implicit declaration of function `setresgid'
uidswap.c:168: warning: implicit declaration of function `setresuid'
The problem appears to be that these should be prototyped in unistd.h, but
aren't. There are no prototype for these anywhere at all. The man page
gives a hint that this is a long-standing bug/feature.
On the other hand, the definitions seem to exist in glibc 2.3.
I looked a bit how to fix this in openssh, but couldn't quickly figure a
nice way to do it. It may not be worth a fix anyway.
Just letting you folks know, if someone has a nice autoconf trick handy
(for example) or is bothered by this warning..
