From 9b4b38f56e854f8f1343fed9dbc225ffbb1d77d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 08:06:55 -0700 Subject: id: handle systems without getgroups support If getgroups failed with ENOSYS, mgetgroups would unnecessarily fail, and that provoked id into freeing an uninitialized pointer. Meanwhile, we were not using xalloc_die properly. Both issues are better solved in gnulib, by introducing xgetgroups; this patch uses the new interface. Regression introduced by commit 6a31fd8d7. * gnulib: Update, for mgetgroups improvments. * src/id.c (print_full_info): Adjust caller to die on allocation failure, and no longer worry about ENOSYS. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS: Update.
