Greetings.
Thanks to some detective work from Siddhesh Poyarekar (a glibc
maintainer) and then fas work from Xavier LAMIEN, we have now fixed the
long standing anoying bug with fas enabled machines where users
wouldn't get all their shell groups on login.
This means you no longer need to run 'newgrp' before sudo, it should
just work (provided you are in a group that is allowed to sudo on that
host).
Thanks again everyone involved. It's great to have this fixed.
