Hi,

I'm seem to have tracked down the problem.
But I don't understand why this is happening
and what is the solution.

This is the output for id command when I'm
logged in locally to machine_A. The user is
'cheetanc'.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cheetanc]$ id
uid=500(cheetanc) gid=500(cheetanc) groups=500(cheetanc)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the output for id command when I
ssh from machine_B to machine_A.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cheetanc]$ id
uid=500(cheetanc) gid=500(cheetanc) groups=500(cheetanc),504(cvs)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can see that the user cheetanc is part
of the group cvs in the second case when
not in the first case, (i.e) when logged in
locally. Here are the corresponding entries
in /etc/group.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cheetanc]$ cat /etc/group | grep cheetanc
cheetanc:x:500:
cvs:x:504:cheetanc

Quite weird. What is happening?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Senthil.

That makes it sound like the user is a member of the cvs group when logged in with ssh but not when logged in locally. You might want to compare the results of running the ``id'' command both locally and via ssh.
