Hello, From the id(1): The historic groups(1) command is equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''. From the groups(1): The groups utility has been obsoleted by the id(1) utility, and is equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''. martin% uname -a FreeBSD martin.kleinerdrache.org 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #3: Sun Jun 22 21:36:41 CEST 2003 martin@martin.kleinerdrache.org:/usr/obj/ usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 So there is my output: martin% id -Gn martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse martin% groups martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse seems to be aequivalent, but: martin% id -Gn martin martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse mounters So, mounters is a new group which I created with root. When I do not log out as the user martin, I get this error. The question is: Why this behaviour? And: What can I do to make martin recognizing the new group without logging out (and in)?
