Version: 3.1.2

Debian Sarge

If I'm not mistaken, if you use db lookups for groups in nsswitch.conf,
followed by files, this leads to double group membership.  For example,
when my nsswitch.conf contains:

group:         db files

...and after I've updated the database files in /var/lib/misc, I find
that any group membership specified in /etc/group is reported twice by
the 'groups' command.  The effect isn't noticable unless you log in
again, of course.  If logging in via ssh, the ssh daemon has to be
restarted.

We discovered this quite by accident trying to track down an issue with
Tru64 file locking in directories having no permissions for 'other' on
nfs mounts from linux, but that's another story...

Best.

This is not reproducible anymore with version 2.10.1. Please feel free
to reopen if it reappears.
