Hi Steve, Since Linux isn't Windblows, certainly there's another way other than a complete reboot to solve this kind of issue. If simply logout/login doesn't work, then there must be something else involved; restarting that something else (other service) should resolve the issue. Perhaps, restarting ssh (or hopefully you don't still use telnet...) would solve such an issue in the future? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Holmes" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 2:36 AM Subject: Re: Group Permissions > I figured that and tried my task before and after logout / login with > that account and it still didn't work; rebooted the box and then I > could do it with that user. > > On Sun, Oct 06, 2002 at 03:42:40AM -0500, Gregory Nowak wrote: > > As far as I know, if you add a user to /etc/group, all you need to do is have the user log out, and back in in order for groups to reflect the changes. > > Greg > > > > > > On Sun, Oct 06, 2002 at 01:32:49AM -0700, Steve Holmes wrote: > > > Quick security question: I added a user to the adm group in my > > > /etc/group file today but couldn't get the contents to be reflected > > > until I rebooted the system.
