The user will have to log out and then log back in for group changes to take effect. This is true for both Windows and Linux group permissions.

you don't give any details about your samba setup, but my guess is that you need to add the new user to the samba passwd file as well using 'smbpasswd -a username'. otherwise samba will treat their file requests as user 'nobody' or something like that instead of the local user.

I have a group set that has ownership of a directory in htdocs.. full
rights..

I add a new user to the system and also add them to that group.. they
cannot write to anything in that htdocs directory..

I did a cat /etc/group and found out that the user is in the group AND i have restarted the smb service..

is there anything else I can do to make sure this user can be allowed
access to use the full rights he should have due to his group
membership?
