Then you add ids to it. Both can be done by editing the file /etc/group When you create the group, pick a unique id number above those used by the system. Make the rest of the entry look like the others. Then add the ids in a comma separated list at the end. There may be a maximum of ids you can add to any group, but I don't know what it is. There are also various utilities that will do this for you, but it is so easy just to edit /etc/group that I never bother with them. jerry > > Thanks > > Andrew > _ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Problem with Groups
Hi everybody Freebsd 6.2 sorry this question is a bit thick I know but after getting the usb and cdrom open as root I tried as user and got the following message A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") a suggested work around was to add user to "storage group" would somebody be kind enough to tell me how to add user to storage group Thanks Andrew _ Share what Santa brought you https://www.mycooluncool.com___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Is there any way around it? This is more-or-less normal behavior. When you change authentication information like adding yourself to a group, the existing processes you were running do not gain new privileges, but any new processes you start up should. You could have re-execed your shell, or restarted KDE as you did. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This has always been the way it works, and I don't believe this is going to change any time soon. ___ Eric F Crist "I am so smart, S.M.R.T!"
