So that’s all good.
The daemon simply does that (build.cc):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/* Get the members of the build-users-group. */
struct group * gr = getgrnam(settings.buildUsersGroup.c_str());
if (!gr)
throw Error(format("the group `%1%' specified in `build-users-group'
does not exist")
% settings.buildUsersGroup);
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Can you try getgrnam("guix-builders") in C or some other language (from
Guile: (getgrnam "guix-builders")) ?
Does it make a difference if nscd is stopped or restarted?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
