Probably a simple question for the hackers in these parts... I have a process which runs as root and is supposed to be started by /usr/local/etc/rc.d/script.sh. This process looks at a queue file, and a table and decides to setuid to some user. No great mysteries here.... If the process is started from the command line things work fine. If it's started from rc.d/script.sh, "id" reports participation in only the primary group listed in the passwd database, not any of the groups it's a member of in /etc/group. IE, user "dist" has a primry group of "dist", but is also listed under "www" in /etc/group. When started at boot, "id" only lists "dist" as member groups. Am I neglecting some system call, expecting something unreasonable, or just out in left field?
