- Modify the following environment variables: (listed in environ(7)) |
- Allow for pam-less (native) login, for use with distros wo pam (Alpine) and |
||||||
* USER -> to target user |
BSDs |
||||||
* LOGNAME -> to target user |
|
||||||
* SHELL -> to the target user's SHELL |
|
||||||
* HOME -> to the target user's HOME |

- fork before exec, that is because processes might try to kill us or the |
|
||||||
command but since they may run under elevated privileges they will get |
|
||||||
permission denied error. If we remain the parent processes, unprivileged |
|
||||||
proceses can send signals to us and we will relay them to our children |
|
||||||
running at the same privilege as us. This is useful when: |
|
||||||
- The child command hangs and we want to cose it, kinda |
|
||||||
problematic but we could run kill with us as well |
|
||||||
- The parent shell dies and children need to be killed, then |
|
||||||
since one of their children (us) has higher privileges |
|
||||||
they can't kill us and we would end up as zombies |
