[Bug libc/4527] getgrouplist() returns 1, if user does not refer to a valid user on the system


------- Additional Comments From jakub at redhat dot com  2007-05-21 15:15 -------
To me this looks like something the LSB folks made up without doing a reality
check.  getgrouplist is originally a BSD function and nothing like that is
documented for it, nor glibc ever behaved that way.
1 is returned because the supplied group number has been stored into the
array.
For non-POSIX etc. functions LSB should just document what glibc does, not
come up with something and afterwards require that glibc changes to what
LSB folks made up.
