[Bug 75602]

[ceg]

Thank you for the summary.

Did find this thread about the issue:
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/2mxmYMz9oyt4896NAcKZ
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2008-August/010191.html)

Concluding, it looks like there is some code/patch available to allow to
check for the correct full list of groups (incl. dynamicly added) of a
process at connect time.

Title:
  DBUS Should Support "Session Groups"
  (pam_group.so,/etc/security/groups.conf)

Status in D-Bus:
  In Progress
Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dbus

  In my lab, there are lots of users in an LDAP database. These users
  are assigned to the groups audio,video,plugdev,etc. by pam_group
  (using the /etc/security/groups.conf file). The problem is, DBUS
  doesn't recognize users as being in groups unless they're in
  /etc/group, which isn't practical for our setup. So, there are
  permission problems with USB sticks, kpowersave, etc. (well, there
  *will* be, once I upgrade from Dapper to a more version of Kubuntu).

  On my laptop, I can use (the kludge) "adduser $uname plugdev"... this
  won't work in the lab.
