A quick fix is to comment out twisted/scripts/twistd.py:160: shedPrivileges(config['euid'], process.uid, process.gid) which is useless when not running as root.
Can we get in a long term fix for 2.0?
That would be great. It turns out my problem is/was the same as the folks at MIT. My linux box is an AFS client. A person in my department that is our resident AFS expert informed me that AFS uses the first 2 group slots to store the AFS PAG (Process Authentication Group) identifier for the user. This is for 2.4 and older kernels. I don't know if it is the same for 2.6 kernels. I know the OpenAFS folks are in the process of redoing PAGs because of 2.6 kernel changes. For now. Commenting out the the call to shedPrivileges works for me. -Garrett Rolfs
