# Portage has 3 security levels that depend on the uid and gid of the main |
| 2 |
# process and are assigned according to the following table: |
| 3 |
# |
| 4 |
# Privileges secpass uid gid |
| 5 |
# normal 0 any any |
| 6 |
# group 1 any portage_gid |
| 7 |
# super 2 0 any |
| 8 |
# |
| 9 |
# If the "wheel" group does not exist then wheelgid falls back to 0. |
| 10 |
# If the "portage" group does not exist then portage_uid falls back to |
| 11 |
wheelgid. |

if uid==0: |
| 14 |
secpass=2 |
| 15 |
try: |
| 16 |
wheelgid=grp.getgrnam("wheel")[2] |
| 17 |
if (not secpass) and (wheelgid in os.getgroups()): |
| 18 |
secpass=1 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
secpass=1 is for being in the portage group...what difference does wheel make? |
| 21 |

fex, permissions on /usr/portage/distfiles are |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
drwxrwsr-x 4 root portage 20480 May 12 10:56 /usr/portage/distfiles/ |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
so with secpass 1 I should be able to fetch, but can't because I'm in wheel |
| 27 |
and not portage. |

So I send this mail with the question "am I missing something?" |
