New submission from Abhishek <abmsh...@in.ibm.com>:
If root user is part of a linux group, then in the response of getgrnam() &
grp.getgrid(), in te gr_mem part, root user is not listed.
[root@biplab2 ~]# getent group | grep starwars
starwars:x:1011:root,abhi
[root@biplab2 ~]# python3
Python 3.6.8 (default, Dec 5 2019, 16:11:43)
[GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)] on linux
>>> import grp
>>> grp.getgrnam('starwars')
grp.struct_group(gr_name='starwars', gr_passwd='x', gr_gid=1011,
gr_mem=['abhi'])
>>> grp.getgrgid(1011)
grp.struct_group(gr_name='starwars', gr_passwd='x', gr_gid=1011,
gr_mem=['abhi'])
But, when grp.getgrall() is run, we the correct response (gr_mem includes root
user as well)
>>> grp.getgrall()
grp.struct_group(gr_name='starwars', gr_passwd='x', gr_gid=1011,
gr_mem=['root', 'abhi'])]
