Hi, I'm trying to figure out how a user rj2nagle can write/edit files
inside directories owned by another user zope with group named "zope'.
I'm using FC5, which apparently employers User Private groups.
/etc/groups
rj2nagle:x:500:rj2nagle
zope:x:101:rj2nagle
If I run usermod -g rj2nagle -G rj2nagle,zope rj2nagle
I would think that it would let me edit files that are group writable.
But I can't do it. if i run
[EMAIL PROTECTED] products]$ groups
rj2nagle
Here are the permissions in the directory i want to write to as rj2nagle:
drwxrwsr-x 2 zope zope 4096 Oct 9 12:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 9 01:49 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 zope zope 0 Oct 9 04:33 mine
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zope zope 0 Oct 9 02:39 test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root zope 0 Oct 9 12:29 test2
If rj2nagle is a member of the zope group, you would expect to be able
to edit the "test"file. But it can't.
I know this is an issue with user private groups.

But I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. Surely I don't
need to create yet another group that both zope and rj2nagle need to
belong to?
Call me very confused.
