Currently, when an application like pts(1) wants to determine the list of groups a user belongs to, it uses the same API, pt_IDListMembers, as is used to get the lit of users belonging to a group. The functions are distinguished by the ptsid of the "group" being negative or positive.
However, in the presence of supergroups, this breaks badly: although groups can belong to other groups, there is no interface (at least not that I can see in ptuser.h) that allows a programmer to find the supergroups of a given group, short of enumerating all of the groups and making an exhaustive search. Are there any plans to fix this? (And if there are any API changes required, which seems to be the case, can I request a version of pt_IDListMembers which returns an idlist instead of a namelist?) -GAWollman _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
