I don't believe. You gotta be kidding me.

...

Are you serious? Is that all?

P.S. eax is 50 and 47.

a16b03, sorry, just my little joke, I don't know the difference. I was just being goofy (thought it was obvious). Embarassed

50 = get effective group id

Here's more

sys_getpgid
sys_getpgrp

Maybe you can help
I need to get process GID.

here's what i use

Code:

        mov     eax,132
        xor     ebx,ebx
        int     0x80
        or      eax,5
        jnz     NOT_IN_TTY_GROUP

is it correct?

maybe mov eax,132 sould be replaced with other syscall.

man 2 getgid answers all your questions:

getgid returns the real group ID of the current process.

getegid returns the effective group ID of the current process.

The real ID corresponds to the ID of the calling process. The effec-
tive ID corresponds to the set ID bit on the file being executed.

Thats your best bet for any syscall, remove the "sys_" prefix, then just do man 2 <rest of syscall name>

Oh. I think i know whats wrong with my prog.

getgid returns all groups, rignt (for process)?
And If I want to know if user is in tty (GID=5) group i must somehow mask it out right?

sys_getgid returns real group id for the process and sys_getgroups retrieves a lists of all the supplementary groups id's.
No need to mask out (or do any other operations on) the return values. Just check whether the required group equals to primary or one of the supplementary groups.
