Package: unfs3 Version: 0.9.15+dfsg-1 Severity: important After two hours of debugging, trying to figure out why it was impossible to get access to a directory where the group permissions were set to allow access, I finally found the problem.
unfs3 seem to only use the active primary group of a user when checking if an operation is allowed or not. 'touch' in a directory failed even if the user was member of the group with write access to the directory. I was able to get it to work by using newgrp to switch the primary group to the group with access to the directory. This is not how other NFS implementation work. I figured this out after using wireshart to verify that the group with access to the directory was listed in the NFS package sent to the server, in the list of auxiliary gids. Please modify unfs3 to check access against all auxiliary gids as well as the primary group.
