Back about 2.0.23 and 2.1.11 a patch was submitted to change line 231 of sysctl.c in /linux/kernel. The offending line was:
if (grp == current->euid) ^ in the function: static int (in_egroup_p(gid_t grp) patch-2.1.12 and possibly later 2.1 patches addressed this problem. The unofficial patch simply changed euid to guid. patch-2.1.12 made more extensive changes to the function.
No similar official patch has appeared for 2.0.xx kernels.
I am not currently running 2.1 (until pcmcia works) and I am not kernel hacker enough to know what this effects, but it does look wrong.
