Re: [gentoo-user] Can't play games
Well, that was it. I'm quite surprised because I start xterm as ``xterm -ls'', which should provide a login shell but I had to logoff completely (terminating X and logout).

A login shell only means that it parses different rc files on startup, just like it would do when the user logged in. Bye...

A login shell is not a new login; it just means that as well as reading .bashrc (or the equivalent for your shell), it also reads .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile when starting up, and reads .bash_logout on exit. To add groups to the currently running process requires root privileges, even if the user is configured as a member of the new group. The usual methods to achieve this are logging out and back in again, or using newgrp (though this starts a new shell, and only affects processes started from that shell). -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors.
