Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ivman
Hi!
I'm using ivman to start a script which syncs my computer automatically
with an mp3 player. The syncing part works without problem but I've a
problem with the user/group the ivman process is running. I want that
the computer makes a beep if all is synced. For this I've put the ivman
user into the audio group:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# su -m ivman
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id
uid=111(ivman) gid=46(plugdev) groups=29(audio),46(plugdev)
but if I call "id" in a script thats called by ivman I get following
output
uid=111(ivman) gid=46(plugdev)
Somehow additional groups are dropped, which makes it impossible to
access devices which require the user to be in a special group. I
additionally I found out that its a difference if ivman is launched at
startup or (re)startet via sudo - so there is more unclean in the
user/group handling.
