hi:i am confused about something.what i did:* added a user and group called lighttpd through xubuntu-users-admin (hereafter called xua)* added a user mrelectron to the lighttpd group thru xua
expectation:* mrelectron as a member of the lighttpd group will have the same access to directories and files as the lighttpd group.checking:* anytime i go into xua i can see mrelectron as a group member of lighttpd.
but: * if i try and access a directory owned by group-lighttpd i get a permission denied error. troubleshooting:* running groups (whoami returns mrelectron) returns:mrelectron adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
.i would have expected a group lighttpd* running groups mrelectron (whoami returns mrelectron) returns:mrelectron : mrelectron adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin lighttpd
..this has the group lighttpd. so my questions are:1. why i am having a permission denied error.2. why do you get two different outputs from the groups and groups username commandcheers
