The patch looks good, although I haven't tried it :-) I have at least one report that it is working correctly, so I'll go ahead and commit once I've done a final build test. I'm a little worried about future interactions between linux security foo and freebsd security foo -- initgroups() is probably fairly safe (although the groups[0] behavior is a bit different), but things like the fsuid and so on will be trouble.
