Why is there the following in attach_homedir() in
/source/4.3/bin/login/login.c?
if (status.w_retcode == ATTACH_OK ||
status.w_retcode == ATTACH_ERR_ATTACHED) {
chown(pwd->pw_dir, pwd->pw_uid, pwd->pw_gid);
chdir(pwd->pw_dir);
return (0);
}
The mount-point will assume whatever uid/gid it is on the server. There
is no need (and in fact it will fail) trying to chown the directory.
