+Subject: [PATCH] Don't call `setgroups` unconditionally in mainrelay
+
+This patch moves the call to `setgroups` from the beginning of the
+`drop_priviliges` function to branch in which `setuid` is actually
+called. This still fulfills the intention of
+acbf7e15c9290e0891a6b6b5ce6e81bbaa77ce5a, initially introducting
+the call to `setgroups`:
+
+> Fix related to POS36-C and rpmlint error
+> "missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid".
+
+As per this intention is is not required to call `setgroups`
+otherwise, reducing the more exotic (as in not part of POSIX and
+considered priviliged by systemd) system calls coturn needs to make
+at startup.
