[ofa-general] [PATCH] infiniband-diags: terminate perl scripts with error if not authorized

[Timothy A. Meier]

Sasha, Hal,

Here is a revised version of the patch - just the auth_check() routine.

Basically, it passes the test if root, or same ownership as umad0.

The motivation for this patch is to provide a quick (and early) check for the 
perl scripts that were only intended for privilaged users.  Stop partial 
functionality, and provide a non-zero exit code.

I will patch the relevant perl scripts to use this check, if accepted.
