It isn't standard under BSD, and the version on AIX doesn't support
concurrent groups.

This version [ the one attached below ] should resolve all of those
problems.  And its public domain, so you can rip it off and send it
out with your BSD port.

Enjoy.

/*
 * id - print current process identification information
 *
 * This program was written by John F. Haugh II (jfh@rpp386.UUCP)
 * on 7/9/89 and hereby placed into the public domain.
 *
 * Syntax:
 *	id
 * Synopsis:
 *	Print the current process identifiers.  This includes the
 *	UID, GID, effective-UID and effective-GID.  In environment
 *	where concurrent groupsets exist, the list of groups in
 *	the concurrent groupset is printed as well.
 *
 * Notes:
 *	Straightforward implementation.  Get the IDs and print
 *	them out.  We key on the #define NGROUPS to decide if
 *	concurrent groups exist.  This may have to be changed to
 *	something more intelligent.
