Hey,

this is a bit of guesswork, but,
* getgit get the _real_ real gid

But why does it need to call this? Isn't everything running as the user already?


Everything in NX runs under the user who launches the X2Go session. IMHO resetting the effective GID prevents us from setgid file permission manipulations, so that the effective group ID always is the primary/real group ID of the current user that is executing the NX binary.

Greets,
