Hello, I was working with users, groups and file permissions and noticed something wierd that I can duplicate on different RH8 machines. I log into GDM/Gnome as user 'kevin', opened a gnome terminal and 'su -' to root. From that terminal I created a group, a directory, permissions etc. groupadd students usermod -G kevin,students kevin mkdir /data chmod 770 /data chgrp students /data Now I open a new Gnome Terminal [as user kevin] and 'cd /data' since 'kevin' is now in the 'students' group. I get 'permission denied'. /etc/group shows 'kevin' in the 'students' group and file perms are drwxrwx___ root students on the /data directory. No changes or playing with the permissions helps so finally I logout of X completely and log back in via GDM/Gnome, open a gnome terminal as 'kevin' and can now 'cd /data' without any problem. What's happening? Comments please. TIA Kevin B -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
