I have just installed glibc-1.09 on a sunos4.1.3 without gnu linker or gnu asm, using gcc-2.6.0 My question is about the getgruid function. I built the library, no problem, then typed: make tests, and it failed on >grp/testgrp getpwuid: Error 0 I was compiling as a normal user. If I run grp/testgrp as root (uid=0) then it works : i.e My login name is root. My uid is 0. My home directory is /. My default shell is /bin/csh. My default group is daemon (1). The members of this group are: Is this correct. Do programs using getpwuid/getgrgid, have to be given 'setuid' access bits. This is not the case if I compile without the glibc. Thanks for responces.
