-
- I'm taking an informal survey.
-
- 1003.1 states that whether or not the current effective
- GID is returned as part of the groupset returned by
- getgroups() is implementation defined.
-
- I am curious what the group's feeling is in general about
- permitting the current effective GID to be added via
- setgroups() to the concurrent group set using setgroups().
-
- My reasoning is that the concurrent group set =should=
- reflect all of the groups being used in determining the
- process's access rights. So, either the system should
- add the EGID to the list, or it should permit the process
- to explicitly add the EGID without requiring UID 0
- privilege.
-
- Please reply by mail, I'll post a summary if there is
- enough interest ...
