After upgrading to the new glibc yesterday, only primary groups seem to work. For example: cd /usr/games/ -bash: cd: games/: Permission denied Permissions of /usr/games/ drwxr-x--- 4 root games 96 Oct 1 20:28 games groups users groups fca (my user) wheel audio cdrom video games cdrw usb portage users It worked fine before. Also emerge seems not to like this, as I'm not in the portage group anymore. emerge --info:Portage 2.0.51_rc7 (default-linux/x86/2004.2/gcc34/2.6, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20041002-r0, 2.6.8.1-ck9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8.1-ck9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -ftracer -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -ftracer -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.2/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex X alsa apm applypatches arts artswrappersuid audiofile avi bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cdr crypt cscope dvd dvdread encode fam final flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib ithreads jabber java javascript jpeg junit kde libcaca libg++ libwww live mad mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mpeg mysql ncurses network nfs nptl nptlonly oggvorbis ooo-kde opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline rtc sdl slang sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype v4l2 x86 xml2 xprint xv xvid zlib"
Forgot to add: I've remerged pam and shadow, but that doesn't help, am now remerging glibc with FEATURES="maketest" for more information.
Hi, Similar behaviour observed here, glibc-2.3.4-20041002 compiled with gcc-3.3.4, thus: # /lib/tls/libc.so.6 GNU C Library 20041002 release version 2.3.4, by Roland McGrath et al.

...work/glibc-2.3.3/grp/* files seem suspicious. they differ a little to the cvs co i did right now. seems to be fixes mainly. i patched and recompile atm. lets see what it does. :) ill report here if it helped.
Regarding comment #3, are you refering to these fixes, perhaps? http://sources.redhat.com/ml/glibc-cvs/2004-q4/msg00100.html I'm going to modify the ebuild to include these fixes (well, not the atomic one, as that seems to be missing from the link), and see if it makes any difference.
nope, the first one is fixed already the second one doesnt fit to gentoo's 1002 the third isnt there.. i have other one 1002 diffed to cvs 45 mins ago.
hah, this patch rules: emerge glibc (patched) -> rebootet -> logged in cd /dev/snd echo "blah" > pcmBLAHsounddevice (which didnt work before) worked now, startx & logout opened Eterm, did same test and it didnt work. -> rebooted -> logged in -> test on console again worked startx (only) -> test under X succeded anyone can interpret that?! ;) anyone may test this on orig glibc? well, i do not know still if this solved the group bug but fixed the bug i experienced... i just added grp/* updates, i may add nscd/* updates... lets see then may be its even better to grab a new (fedora) snapshot? as half-baked patched ;)

Created attachment 41249 [details, diff] Patches from glibc cvs archive which fix group problem The attached patch has solved my issue. These patches have been already committed to glibc cvs, and I got them from the CVS changelog mailing list at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/glibc-cvs/2004-q3/. NOTE that I only tested these patches against a NON-NPTL compiled glibc, because I wanted to save myself some CPU time - I see no reason to assume they won't work for a NPTL glibc, and will be able to verify once I finish compiling an NPTL kernel (again!).
Created attachment 41252 [details, diff] Patch to ebuild to apply glibc-initgroups patch Here is a patch for the ebuild to apply the glic-initgroups patch from the previous attachment.
I can now confirm the attached glibc-initgroups patch works correctly with NPTL-enabled glibc.
works here aswell
alright. this patch is already merged upstream and we need a few additional upstream fixes, so i'm just going to do a new snapshot.
fixed in cvs. give it 15-30 minutes to make it to rsync
