Date:           Sat Jun 23 09:02:13 UTC 2007

Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern: kern_auth.c
        src/sys/sys: kauth.h

Log Message:
Simplify the interfaces needed for sys_setgroups() and sys_getgroups().
Exposed that the kauth code holds groups in an array, but removes some
of the knowledge of the maximum number of groups.
Allows the syscall code to copyin/out directly to/from the cred structure,
this save a lot of faffing about with malloc/free even when compat code
has to use 16bit groups.
