Note that id -Gn without parameters can return different results than id -Gn with a user parameter. On my system I use pam_group to assign extra groups to users who login through gdm: % id -Gn arthur users src % id -Gn users voice cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev scanner The same is true for the groups command. I haven't looked at the script itself but it does change functionality. Also note that the id and groups commands from sid do the more efficient call to initgroups() instead of going over all groups (when the username is supplied). This helps a lot in terms of lookup speed with nss-ldapd. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
