Summary:	Problem on sudo gid
Product:	Sudo	Reporter:	shanthi_thana

Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	high

sudo to root does not pick up the gid. Therefore, certain software does not
shutdown cleanly. Output of the sudo is as below :-
uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=1(staff),204(operator)

Actual root uid & gid is as below :-
uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit),101
(dba),80(fnusr),82(fnadmin),83(fnop)

Comment 1 Todd C. Miller 2002-01-10 10:10:59 MST

This was intentional.  When running things as root sudo preserves the group vector of the
invoking user.  This behavior has changed in sudo 1.6.4 which is due to be released next Monday.
