In the current codebase, it will silently ignore the request if you
are either on Windows, or not running as root.
Otherwise it juts delegates everything except the extended group list
operations to the Ruby Process class, and should follow the semantics
of that; we also verify that we can find the user by name or UID on
the way and raise an exception if it doesn't work.
So, yeah: I don't doubt you are seeing that behaviour, but I can't
understand how from code inspection. Can you instrument your code to
dump Process.uid and Process.gid from Ruby-space in the block? That
way we can help narrow down where things are going wrong.
Regards,
Daniel
