You might also want to consider writing a wrapper for initgroups, and make sure
setgroups also cannot blow away the pag's (that should be the case with
setgroups as AFS masks that call already).  With initgroups having the ability
to nuke the PAG's, you lose your "authentication" whenever starting new login
shells in X (Ugh!)
