Description of problem:
Since the pam_setcred is called before the initgroups call, setting
supplementary groups with pam_group will thus not work of course since
the groups are then wiped later.  It could be that other credentials are
also not set correctly because of this, another (but minor) issue is that
pam_open_session was called before setcred, rather then after as is
recommended by the pam docs.  This bug applies to all gdm versions that I
know of and thus all versions of redhat that use gdm.  A fix is in the
current CVS version and will be in the next release.  In the meantime I
have attached a patch against 2.2.3.1 which is the version redhat seems to
be using currently. Not sure how critical this is, since essentially no gdm
version got it right previously and pam_group is not that useful, however,
other modules that grant certain credentials could be effected
by this as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use pam_group
2. log in with gdm
3. 
	

Actual Results:  No supplemental group memberships given by pam_group. 
Only those listed in /etc/groups are given by initgroups

Expected Results:  have both /etc/groups and pam_group setups be in effect
