- 'without audit' bcond added

[packages/util-linux.git] / util-linux-more-CLOEXEC.patch

When you view a file with the more command and run a shell, the file descriptor
for reading the file is leaked to that process.

To test, more any file. Then do !/bin/sh. At the prompt do "ls -l /proc/$$/fd"
and you'll see the leaked fd.
