As root I added the user jon to the dialer group pw groupmod dialer -m jon In a previously opened shell, with user jon, I found no way to update this change. I tried executing sh, bash, csh with no success. However, the change was made. How do you tell the current shell to re-read the enviroment? Looks like your issue, don't you think? 10-RELEASE-p1 Regards Alberto Mijares
