Thanks -- yep, I'm trying to debug wether or not the system setgid()
actually does anything, or if it's just "code placebo" somehow. This is
all due to the suexec.c code I'm working on, which verifies your GID
then does a setgid() in addition to a setuid(). setuid() is certainly
needed, but I'm not sure the setgid() is.
According to your(?) notes regarding Apache, one of the differences MPE
has is that GIDs aren't like UNIX, since the account names are
"built-in" -- so I'm thinking setgid() is effectively pointless. When I
experiment and take out the setgid() code though, I get Bad Results
(suexec doesn't finish compiling at all), so I was trying to trace down
exactly what *else* happens when setgid() is called.
Whatcha think?
Thanks!

Both getgid() and setgid() live in POSIX libc (aka /lib/libc.a) which
is used
by default when linking with gcc on MPE.
Are you looking for source code or documentation (i.e.
"human-legible")?
