    Problem Text
    This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use TSD4U.00045 instead.

    Reference: TSD4U.00045 for VSU 4.0.2

    The test uses setpgrp() to set the process group ID and make
    the child a session leader. Therefore, the child is not in
    the same session as the calling process (the parent).
    According to CASPEC getpgid page, if the child is not in the
    same session as the calling process, the getpgid() may fail
    and set errno to EPERM if the implementation does not allow
    access to the process group ID of the calling process. Since
    HP implements the call this way, getpgid fails and EPERM is
    set in the errno.
    Recommendation:
    The recommended fix to the test is to use setpgrp() only if
    VSU_ACCESS_PG_ACCROSS_SESSION is set to 1 in the tetexec.cfg
    file, and use setpgid(0,0) otherwise.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: getpgid

    TEST PURPOSE #1
    A successful call to pid_t getpgid(pid_t
    pid) when pid is not 0 shall return the process group
    ID of the process whose process ID is equal to pid.
    PREP: Fork a child process
    PREP: Child: change group ID to its process ID
    TEST: Parent: getpgid() returns the process group
    ID of the child process
    ERROR: getpgid failed, errno = 1(EPERM - Not owner)
    1 UNRESOLVED
