Note that after adding your user to any group, you need to log out and back in for that change to take affect. Existing sessions don't detect it. If you don't want to re-log in, you can "sg games" to open a new shell in the games group, or probably su -l to yourself as suggested. Cheers, Bryan

To do that use "su -l username" or "su username -". -- Neil Bothwick Cereal Killer Strikes Again! Cap'n Crunch found dead... signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Regards, David Thanks David for pointing it. Your are correct. What was confusing to me is the fact that I logged into the system via ssh to my account and "su" to use who was in group "games" but for some reason or another the games would not execute. When I ssh directly to the user account, it worked :-/ -- Joseph
