Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: Well, IIRC, I read in the Solaris man pages that it behaves like HP-UX in this regard. But this it can be changed with `setprivgrp`, so it might work on some machines, and fail on others. According to http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.solaris/2004-03/2579.html, the test should work with the default setting (maybe the OP was testing on a HP-UX machine with the non-default setting). Anyway, since it depends on the system configuration, I wanted to stay on the safe side, and just skip on both OS. But I honestly don't have a strong opinion about this.
