I've tracked down the problem I've been having in my own su program to the
fact that the setgid() call failes when attempt to setgid to the uucp group.
setuid() works fine.  I would assume it has to do with who is/isn't allowed
in a group.  If an program is running suid to root, why can it not set the
group id?  Or does the group id have to be set before the uid??
