But first we'll need a run-test (either in an autoconf macro or at run time) to avoid the segfault bug in libc-2.3.2's getgrouplist. In that case, we'd revert to using a new (to-be-written) getgrouplist module that does most of what `id' already does. Or just avoid the buggy use of getgrouplist by never passing it a buffer of length zero. - See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200327 + See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/200327 remove `%s' notation (now that they're all gone, add a Makefile.maint sc_ rule to ensure no new ones are added): |
