24 This function requires sys_getgrouplist - which is only
25 available in smbd due to it's use of become_root() in a
26 legacy systems hack.

32 returns the number of groups the user is a member of. The return will include the
33 users primary group.
35 remember to free the resulting gid_t array
37 NOTE! uses become_root() to gain correct priviages on systems
38 that lack a native getgroups() call (uses initgroups and getgroups)
