The attached bzr bundle adds support for initializing the process's supplementary group list if required.
I have a daemon that runs a collection of regression tests as a test
user. One of the tests invokes sudo, and permission is granted because
the test account is a member of the 'sudo' group.
The test runs fine on the command line but fails under the daemon
because 'sudo' is a supplementary group, which hasn't been initialized.
A user's list of supplementary groups can be found via the command
'id'.
The bundle adds a new keyword, initgroups, which if True, calls
os.initgroups(), which will initialize the supplementary group list to
all of the entries in /etc/groups that contain the uid.
This is the fist time that I've use bzr, so there may be a new errors in
the bundle.
