Hi all, I already got great advice from this list, so here I go again: the thing is I can't get "groups" working here and, honestly, I don't know anyone who can (I have a couple of friends using debian as well...). breaks down like this, I'm user "rhwinter" and I want to join group "camera" that root is part of. He creates a file, changes it's group owner to "camera" and chmod's it to 770 (for educational purposes, of course!). This is the WEIRD behavior I get:
-----------BEGIN PASTE FROM CONSOLE----------------- 02:02:53 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su Password: 02:02:56 haydn:/home/rhwinter# addgroup camera Adding group `camera' (1005)...

I already tried loggin' off after creating the group, that didn't help, which pretty much made run out of ideas. When I check the '/etc/group' everything seems ok: $ cat /etc/group|grep camera camera:x:1005:root,rhwinter so, if anyone can help me sort this out I really appreciate. By the way, If you answer to this, please CC a copy to me, since I don't subscribe to the list... Thanks a lot!! Roberto.
