Fix for this issue.
Lifting embargo has this been fixed now? FEDORA-2005-812 Fixed (by jryska) on Thu Apr 14 2005 with help (bressers) in: devel, FC-4, FC-3, RHEL-4. RHEL-3 does not call 'getgrnam()'. I checked only (int sw_gid - initialization/setting): An update for FC3 was released so ERRATA is the proper resolution here as this bug is filed for FC3. For more information see: http://lwn.net/Articles/149403/ |
When starting xntpd with the -u option and specifying the group by using a string not a numeric gid the daemon uses the gid of the user not the group. reproduce: # rcxntpd start # ps -C ntpd -o comm,pid,ruser,euser,rgroup,egroup verify given and real IDs This issue affects the ntpd we ship with FC
