Secondary user groups

gga

require 'etc'
Etc.getpwnam(user)

or, using Daniel Berger's std-admin library_

require 'sys/admin'
Sys::Admin.get_user(user)

allows me to get a struct with the user's primary group.

However, I need to obtain the list of ALL groups that a user belongs
to (primary and secondary).
Other than doing the unportable:

groups = `groups #{user}`.split

is there a method in the ruby std library to get the secondary groups?

Here's one way you could do it with sys-admin:

groups = []
Admin.groups{ |g|
groups << g.name if g.members.include?('you')
}
