Description Ric Anderson 2009-04-27 16:57:20 UTC
Description of problem: sudo with runas_default=oracle gets wrong group list


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.6.9p17-3.el5_3.1

How reproducible: everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. add these lines to /etc/sudoers
   Defaults        always_set_home, runas_default=oracle to sudoers
   %dba ALL=(oracle) ALL
2. Create user ric, group dba
3. as ric, do
   sudo -i
   to become oracle.  
4. After the sudo, do
     [oracle@uaz-hr-d02 ~]$ id

   
  
Actual results:
   Id says the following - note dba is missing, and a bunch of system groups are present:
     uid=502(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)

Expected results:
   Id should say
     uid=502(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba)
