POSIX_SETGID(3) 1 POSIX_SETGID(3)posix_setgid - Set the GID of the current processSYNOPSIS
bool posix_setgid (int $gid)
DESCRIPTION
Set the real group ID of the current process. This is a privileged function and needs appropriate privileges (usually root) on the system
to be able to perform this function. The appropriate order of function calls is posix_setgid(3) first, posix_setuid(3) last.
Note
If the caller is a super user, this will also set the effective group id.
PARAMETERS
o $gid
- The group id.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
posix_setgid(3) example
This example will print out the effective group id, once it is changed.
<?php
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
posix_setgid(40);
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //40
echo 'My effective group id is '.posix_getegid(); //40
?>

POSIX_GETEGID(3) 1 POSIX_GETEGID(3)posix_getegid - Return the effective group ID of the current processSYNOPSIS
int posix_getegid (void )
DESCRIPTION
Return the numeric effective group ID of the current process.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an integer of the effective group ID.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
posix_getegid(3) example
This example will print out the effective group id, once it is changed with posix_setegid(3).
<?php
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
posix_setegid(40);
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
echo 'My effective group id is '.posix_getegid(); //40
?>
NOTES posix_getegid(3) is different than posix_getgid(3) because effective group ID can be changed by a calling process using posix_setegid(3).

Checking configuration access files for an AIX server, left me wondering about this :confused::
If a user is added to system group, it gets gid=0 with some security risks because it gets some root kind of file access level.
Is this insecure condition kept if the user has admin variable... (0 Replies)
