Hello,
While adding NFS RQUOTA V2 support to Samba, the request is being made
as root and is thus root squashed by the server and fails.
The reason for the issue is source3/smbd/quotas.c executing
become_root() before calling the VFS module.
I tried calling unbecome_root() within the module, but it did not work.
Is there another way to change back to normal UID/GID from within the
VFS module?
Thanks,
Orion
