Well, I *do not* confirm this. Window 1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# su - tintin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id uid=1000(tintin) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ newgrp audio Password: Sorry. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I do NOT logout from this shell and in anothe window (window 2): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/pam.d# addgroup herge Adding group `herge' (1006)... Fait. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/pam.d# adduser tintin herge Ajout de l'utilisateur tintin au groupe herge... Fait. Going back to "tintin" shell in window 1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ newgrp herge [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id uid=1000(tintin) gid=1006(herge) groups=100(users),1006(herge) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ touch foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la foo -rw-r--r-- 1 tintin herge 0 Mar 31 07:47 foo So, where's the bug?
