ucred when euid/egid

[Anthony Pankov]

Hello,

I face some misunderstood situation related to the access permissions.


There is a program(script) with the suid/sgid (mode 6555):

r-sr-sr-x   fuser:proggroup  theprog

There is a file:
rw-rw----   someone:filegroup    thefile


User 'fuser' (==program euid) have primary group 'filegroup'(==group,
who can read/write thefile).

Program try to read(write) thefile and fail with permissions.

I don't fully understand why.

According  VOP_ACCESS(9) there is a check

  /* Otherwise, check the groups. */
 for (i = 0, gp = cred->cr_groups; i < cred->cr_ngroups; i++, gp++)
 ...

So, i have only one assumption: when seteuided program executed ucred
struct and cred->cr_groups doesn't change accordingly to euid/egid and
stay the same as for executor.

Is this a bug (how can i fix it) or feature (how can i bypass it)?
