Re: tramp (2.6.0.29.1) : incorrect parsing of group with "-" in name

[brickviking]

After tinkering with this, I can confirm the initial bug, which affects me much like it does Gael. My user is a member of groups, one of which has a hyphen in it.

/bin/id:

uid=1001(viking)  gid=1001(viking) groups=1001(viking),27(sudo),29(audio),44(video),119(pulse),120(pulse-access),1000(zoombuggy)

Inside the debug buffer for tramp: 

...

groups-integer: (1001 27 29 44 119)

groups-string: (viking sudo audio video pulse)

...

Local system is 64-bit Fedora 29, with emacs-29 (git revision: aa253c533d23d0fda1ecc512d94dea24501803ed). tramp version: 2.6.2.29.2

Remote system is 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04.

Hello,

After upgrading from GNU Emacs 28.2 to GNU Emacs 29.1 (Debian packages) I
noticed a regression when I try to open a file on a remote host where my
user has write access through its group : it's opened in read-only mode.

The command I used :
emacs -nw -Q --eval "(setq tramp-verbose 7)" /ssh:dockdev.pilotsystems.net:/home/crfpa/foo.txt

The permission of the file :
-rw-rw-r-- 1 crfpa crfpa 19 Oct 27 10:47 /home/crfpa/foo.txt

The result of id for my user on the remote host :
uid=10002(kilobug) gid=10002(kilobug) groups=10002(kilobug),4(adm),33(www-data),998(docker),1000(crfpa),1002(wpk),1003(probarreau),1004(ae)

There is no SELinux or ACL or anything of that kind.

After looking at the *debug tramp/ssh dockdev.pilotsystems.net* buffer
that seems to be the issue :

10:28:20.336793 tramp-send-command (6) # /bin/id
10:28:20.342457 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) #

10:28:20.342991 tramp-set-connection-property (7) # groups-string (kilobug adm)

The parsing of the groups I belong to stops when it reaches "www-data"
which has "-" in its name. If I remove myself from the group, then it
works (file is properly opened in read-write mode). I got the issue
confirmed by another user of #emacs IRC channel.
