Subject: [PATCH] gssd: Use setgroups32 syscall, if available. BUG:FIXED:340
Date: Wed,  1 Jan 2020 19:13:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200101181349.12248-1-markuschaaf@gmail.com> (raw)

This closes a bug on older 32-bit platforms, where the 16-bit setgroups
syscall has been replaced by setgroups32 and is not available anymore.

Signed-off-by: Markus Schaaf <markuschaaf@gmail.com>

(Personal note: Reporting a trivial bug and getting a fix upstream in
nfs-utils is like running the gauntlet, for the uninitiated average user.)
