Re: Allow to add more than one group for service user

[Julien Lepiller]

From what I understand, the generated /etc/group is correct, but loging as kyc-service, even after a reboot, you don't see the additional groups?

This kind of message should probably go to guix-help instead. Can you
send your user and groups definition you're using? Then we should see
if there's anything wrong with it, or if we can reproduce the issue.


sorry for interruption, since I assumed this could be a bug I continue
previous discussion in this mailing list, if you think `help-guix` is
the proper place to discuss about this issue we can continue on
following thread: 

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-07/msg00088.html

by the way, here is the user account and groups that I'm using for my
service definition:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %kyc-accounts
  (list (user-group (name "kyc-service"))
        (user-group (name "kyc-rpc"))
        (user-account
          (name "kyc-service")
          (group "kyc-service")
          (system? #f)
          (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "kyc-rpc" "video"))
          (comment "KYC service user"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

later I add these definitions using `account-service-type` extension:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define kyc-service-type
   ...
   (extensions (list ...
                            (service-extension account-service-type
                                                          (const %kyc-accounts))))
   ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
