Re: hrm.... what is fsuid.h

[Brian M Dial <bdial rkkengineers com>]

I am compiling on a slackware 3.6 machine.

I wound up getting around this with touch /usr/include/sys/fsuid.h

I'm not sure what you mean by the prototype (i'm no programmer) but i found
mention of the setfsgid, and this is from the man 2 pages

NAME
       setfsgid - set group identity used for file system checks

SYNOPSIS
       int setfsgid(uid_t fsgid)
