+Subject: [PATCH] Expand the error message when newuidmap / newgidmap do not
+ like the user/group ownership of their target process.
+
+Currently the error is just:
+
+newuidmap: Target [pid] is owned by a different user
+
+With this patch it will be like:
+
+newuidmap: Target [pid] is owned by a different user: uid:0 pw_uid:0 st_uid:0, gid:0 pw_gid:0 st_gid:99
+
+Why is this useful? Well, in my case...
+
+The grsecurity kernel-hardening patch includes an option to make parts
+of /proc unreadable, such as /proc/pid/ dirs for processes not owned by
+the current uid. This comes with an option to make /proc/pid/
+directories readable by a specific gid; sysadmins and the like are then
+put into that group so they can see a full 'ps'.
+
+This means that the check in new[ug]idmap fails, as in the above quoted
+error - /proc/[targetpid] is owned by root, but the group is 99 so that
+users in group 99 can see the process.
+
+Some Googling finds dozens of people hitting this problem, but not
+*knowing* that they have hit this problem, because the errors and
+circumstances are non-obvious.
+
+Some graceful way of handling this and not failing, will be next ;) But
+in the meantime it'd be nice to have new[ug]idmap emit a more useful
+error, so that it's easier to troubleshoot.
+
+Thanks!
