hah, forgot about that part.... oh, so here's the thing; i've got half a dozen screen windows going and i don't really feel like logging out. newgrp wants a password and it doesn't like user swilson's password. and re-spawning a shell without exporting anything doesn't change what groups i'm associated with: swilson@swilson-mbp-vdebian:~$ sh sh-4.1$ groups swilson dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev sh-4.1$ exit any suggestions, or what am i doing wrong with newgrp? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
