Mr. Krantz,

        Hello.  

        So, after download of the program, the order of install could be:

                1) Untar the program.

                2) Add the takenset group to the system.

                3) Add your username to the takenset group:

                        usermod -a -G takenset <your user name>

                4) Completely log out and back in with that username.

                5) Run 'make' and then 'make install' as root.

                6) Then you can run 'takenset'.

        After doing the steps above, is the program still saying that you're 
not part 
of the 'takenset' group?  If not, does the output of:

                `id -G -n`

        ...show that you're part of the 'takenset' group?
