I have a service which needs serial port access, meaning it needs access
to a secondary group (its primary one is set differently for Good Reasons).
Right now I'm using chpst (from runit) to set the uid and gid for this
process -- but chpst doesn't set secondary groups. This is, for obvious
reasons, problematic.
Any suggested workarounds? Using ACLs for the relevant permissions is
distinctly unpleasant.

If you can get the appropriate list of GIDs into an environment
variable, you can use setstate:
