the important thing is that assigning
supplementary groups is perfectly reasonable, standard Unix behavior, and
OpenAFS is the one imposing the "surprise" breakage.
I would disagree with that. "Supplementary groups" was never standard Unix
behavior. It was introduced by linux, which post-dates afs. Linux is the
one imposing the "surprise" breakage.
But I agree that the current problem is with OpenAFS. If you would like to
contribute code to use keyrings, I'm sure we'd be happy to look at it.
