From: Oren Laadan Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:03:58 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] setpgid: should work for sub-threads X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~734 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e19f247a3dbd85485ec13174817ae9c2478fe541;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] setpgid: should work for sub-threads setsid() does not work unless the calling process is a thread_group_leader(). 'man setpgid' does not tell anything about that, so I consider this behaviour is a bug.
