Not really true. Its effective after someone have called setgroups, which is done as a part of the login process, (on linux usually by a pam module). If you add yourself to a group, you only are usually just changing a textfile, which lists which users belongs to which group. There are other ways to change the groups list for your session, but none that i can recommend to non-maniacs =) So, the only sane recommendation is to logout and log back in again. //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
