Lines: 13

Reference: /usr/man/man3/initgroups.3x

This manual page states that "Initgroups returns -1 if it was not 
invoked by the super-user", this is false, it acutally returns 1 if the
setgroups call fails, or it there are too many goups referenced.

Fix: Either note problem on manual page, or change return in initgroups.
