As OpenBSD packager for GNU tar, I was contacted by a user who ran into a problem with 1.34: Accessing a remote device is now only possible as superuser. Otherwise, tar will error out with
initgroups: Operation not permitted initgroups(3) is indeed limited to the superuser. The initgroups() call came in via changes to sys_reset_uid_gid(): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/paxutils.git/commit/lib/system.h?id=d247e3c2809a37b6d0c3067251d96bb7f12555e7 What does that even try to do? Getting rid of running as set[ug]id? -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
