If you read the man page, I think you will find that it is your assumption about what the '-G' switch does which is incorrect. 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 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
