Hello Heiko, I've verified your Bugreport. In fact it does not really make a difference if you use "getpwuid" instead of "getgrgid" as the result is the same. For example there is a user called "werner" with uid 1000 and gid 33:
werner:x:1000:33:werner,,,:/home/werner:/bin/bash With this[1] little Perl script the result is as follows: result with getpwuid for group -------------------------------- werner www-data result with getgrgid for group -------------------------------- werner www-data I think this bug report can be closed. thank you, Werner Detter [1] "the little perl script" #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "result with getpwuid for group\n"; print "--------------------------------\n"; print getpwuid($<)."\n"; print getpwuid($()."\n"; print "\n"; print "result with getgrgid for group\n"; print "--------------------------------\n"; print getpwuid($<)."\n"; print getgrgid($()."\n"; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
