Obviously correct. I was assuming that setgid was not inherited, but it is. Just to be sure, I tested it, too. So we end up with the SysV/Linux way being able to emulate the BSD/Hurd way, but no way of forcing the other way around. * [Marcus Brinkmann] >> That's not true.

It's fine, though I think the > previous BSD behavior was as I described. As I previously said, there are Linux distributions that use group 0 as the wheel group. The easy solution is of course just telling the distributors in question that this is a stupid idea on the Hurd, and leave them to deal with it. (Anyway, this is probably a non-issue, as the wheel on these systems is mostly used to tell pam who is allowed to su to root) I'm not really a strong advocate for any one of these ways, anyway, as what we have today can be easily worked around if need be. I think the sigmonster really said it all this time ;) Oystein -- If it ain't broke, don't break it. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
