# Portage has 3 security levels that depend on the uid and gid of the main
# process and are assigned according to the following table:
#
# Privileges secpass uid gid
# normal 0 any any
# group 1 any portage_gid
# super 2 0 any
#
# If the "wheel" group does not exist then wheelgid falls back to 0.
# If the "portage" group does not exist then portage_uid falls back to
wheelgid.
if uid==0:
secpass=2
try:
wheelgid=grp.getgrnam("wheel")[2]
if (not secpass) and (wheelgid in os.getgroups()):
secpass=1
secpass=1 is for being in the portage group...what difference does wheel make?
fex, permissions on /usr/portage/distfiles are
drwxrwsr-x 4 root portage 20480 May 12 10:56 /usr/portage/distfiles/
so with secpass 1 I should be able to fetch, but can't because I'm in wheel
and not portage.
So I send this mail with the question "am I missing something?"
