This seems a bit odd. I have a user id 'me' that has a primary group of 'megroup'. 'me' is in the sudoer's file as: me ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL so I can pretty much do anything root can do (I think). What I wanted to do in this situation was just change my primary group to 'Media' and reexecute the current command: exec sudo -E -g "Media" $0 "$@" But got the error message: Sorry, user me is not allowed to execute 'cmd' as me:Media on machinename. I don't understand why. If 'me' can execute anything, AND 'me' is already a member of group Media, why can't I have sudo execute a command with UID=me, and primary GID=Media? It seems counter-intuitive to disallow 'me' to promote one of my auxiliary groups to primary, especially since I'd think I should be able to execute any command. What am I missing?
