Hi,
I seem to have a weird problem with groups, it seems like the system
doesn't notice that I am in certain groups when it comes to file
permissions, and if I run groups or id with no arguments it also has
some groups missing from the list, but with my username as an argument
it is complete. I've never encountered this before, does anyone know
what the problem might be?

[shaun@strange] ~ $ ls -lh /tmp/group_test
-rw-rw-r--  1 www  mercurial     0B  4 May 14:08 /tmp/group_test
[shaun@strange] ~ $ echo test > /tmp/group_test
bash: /tmp/group_test: Permission denied
[shaun@strange] ~ $ whoami
shaun
[shaun@strange] ~ $ grep shaun /etc/group
wheel:*:0:root,shaun
www:*:80:shaun
shaun:*:1002:
svn:*:1004:svn,shaun
mercurial:*:1006:shaun,www
[shaun@strange] ~ $ groups
shaun wheel svn
[shaun@strange] ~ $ groups shaun
shaun wheel www svn mercurial
[shaun@strange] ~ $ id
uid=1002(shaun) gid=1002(shaun) groups=1002(shaun),0(wheel),1004(svn)
[shaun@strange] ~ $ id shaun
uid=1002(shaun) gid=1002(shaun)
groups=1002(shaun),0(wheel),80(www),1004(svn),1006(mercurial)
