Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.93-8
Followup-For: Bug #926896
Hi Dmitry,
I tested 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null' and it works.
Both when dd is running under normal user and as root.
And when pidof is running as normal user and as root.
(it also works when dd is run as root, and pidof as normal user,
because relevant data is still in procfs and in ps aux).
It also works fine with 'bs=64k'
Weird.
I will try to test it again with different if/of.
Thanks for checking.
