Bug#452682: zabbix-agent runs as user 'zabbix' with gid=0 (root), configuring additional groups doesn't work

Hi Michael, I'm sorry, I should have been a little bit more clear about this. The zabbix_agentd process runs as zabbix:zabbix indeed, but the so called UserParameter scripts run with user:group zabbix:root. Or at least, this is the output of such a script calling `id`: uid=110(zabbix)
