become_root follow-up

Hello,

I would like to follow up on the become_root issue.

Doug VanLeuven, have you tried the consequenses of removing all
become_root calls in the rpc_server directory (or even just those that
you mentioned in your letter)? No, I will not ask you to remove every
other become_root call.

Are we still thinking about how we would like the RPCs to work and how
we are going to get there? Did we reach a conclusion?

Luke, is there a design that tells which part of the RPC code (your
code?) that is "library style" and which part is "application style"?
Currently I've got no eagle's-eye over that code, but is quite lost in
structures of function pointers and wrapper function back and forth.

I would hate to see this issue living on yet several months without
any apparent development.

With your permission I would like to submit a patch (smbd/uid.c
head-version) that will keep samba from ending up root even if we have
nested become_root calls (ignoring every but the first level). It is
noted that this is no excuse not to track down every become_root
problem reported.

Best regards
  Michael Stockman
