I ran into trouble with some configuartions while adding a new group and moving users from another group into this group. The phenomenon is, that each user of the new group is not able to log in! Whenever I try a local or remote login by telnet or the login command, I get "Login incorrect" immediately after typing in the login name. There is no password question! Moving a user from this locked group into another, older group makes things moving again. I lloked up my /etc/login.access file an I did not find anything suspicious. login.conf is also clear and correct. All users got their new gid by chgrp, so all accounts are up to date right now. what happened? Is it a FBSD stupidity or more the stupidity of mine? Fiddling around with the group file doesn't work, only moving all users from the new group to the old one, which I want to have for special users, works. What's going one there? Is there another hidden database for groups? Editing passwd with vipw doesn't help, I changed all gids to the right values. I found out that /etc/group reacts really sensitive to misspelling groups or names within groups, but in this case, all names are up to date. Is anybody out there with similar problems? O.
