Re: Bug#699593: login: wrong egid



Maybe this is related to the problem (a wild guess really - the first
thing that jumped out at me as being wrong).  There are checks for
__FreeBSD__ relating to euid/egid, and they may also need to check for
__FreeBSD_kernel__

It is not needed, we have wrapper in our glibc sysdeps:

/*
   The FreeBSD kernel do not test file access correctly when the
   process' real user ID is superuser. In particular, they always return
   zero when testing execute permissions without regard to whether the
   file is executable.

   While this behaviour conforms to POSIX.1-2008, it is explicitely
   discouraged. This wrapper implements the recommended behaviour.
 */

These check fo __FreeBSD__  are unrelated to the original problem.
