Synopsis: su(1) does not behave the way it is described in man State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: linimon State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 26 00:54:41 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: It sounds to me like su does indeed describe the current behavior. If your primary group is 0, then indeed you are in group 0 :-) I read it as /etc/groups being _additional_ groups that a user is in. If there is a need to create a group which can read but not modify logs, then IMHO that's a local site decision and it should be a group other than group 0. Changing the meaning of group 0 would be a POLA violation (at least at lonesome.com). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=37733
