Ok, guilty as charged! #2 was it. I got cross eyed, and was wondering why they were saying the same thing twice!
The getgroups() function will fail if:
EINVAL The value of gidsetsize is non-zero and less
than the number of supplementary group IDs
set for the calling process.
The setgroups() function will fail if:
EINVAL The value of ngroups is greater than
{NGROUPS_MAX}.On Jan 5, 2008 12:27 PM, Bill Cole <dovecot-20061108@billmail.scconsult.com> wrote:

Thats less than 16.
I think the setgroups() used in Dovecot is failing because of this error:
EINVAL The value of gidsetsize is non-zero and less than the number of supplementary group IDs set for the calling process.What does that mean?
Either:
- You are using some OS where the Standard C Library is badly broken by design.
- You are using Solaris (or some related OS) and have mis-read the man page where that quoted text exists, but explicitly DOES NOT describe setgroups().
