so what you're saying is that newgrp allows you to change group *to* the group that you're in already? ie GID 1000 is your default group, and you can execute 'newgrp ralph' straight after a login? doesn't work for me here, I can change to other groups (which I'm a member of) only. -- regards, jr. time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-09-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://bit.ly/4sACa
