Quote: "-G grouplist" "Set additional group memberships for an account. grouplist is a comma, space or tab-separated list of group names or group numbers. The user's name is added to the group lists in /etc/group, and removed from any groups not specified in grouplist." Please note the part which says "and removed from any groups not specified in grouplist" -- Regards, Torfinn
