You must log out and in for group membership changes to take effect.

wrong manpage for groups(1) and id(1)?

2003-07-08 Thread Martin Klaffenboeck
Hello,

From the id(1):

The historic groups(1) command is equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''.

From the groups(1):

The groups utility has been obsoleted by the id(1) utility, and is 
equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''.

martin% uname -a
FreeBSD martin.kleinerdrache.org 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #3: Sun 
Jun 22 21:36:41 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/
usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386

So there is my output:

martin% id -Gn
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse
martin% groups
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse
seems to be aequivalent, but:

martin% id -Gn martin
martin wheel operator cvsuser littlehouse mounters
So, mounters is a new group which I created with root.  When I do not 
log out as the user martin, I get this error.

The question is:  Why this behaviour?

And:  What can I do to make martin recognizing the new group without 
logging out (and in)?

Martin
