Hi, I used this patch and found an issue that can be easily fixed (I was using this for an old server after the bash security issue)

on uid you have %s, and that vcauses to hang when executing any command, but just changing it to uid:%d fixes it (line 104 and 111)

Hi,

I'm no C programmer, so please forgive me if this is not code-related issue.
My problem is that after patching bash code (bash-3.2-32) src rpm with your code, if I did su - limited-user or directly connected with the non-root user, on releasing a command it hanged with no way of closing the session.
I had a hunch that it is an access issue of some sort so I recompiled removing one-by-one the requests made by pathed bash when a limited user was issuing a command, and found that only the getuid() function is the cause.

Maybe you no longer use this, but it could be useful to solve the problem for others. For me it's OK with only getlogin() and getpid() and history string.

Regards.
