The problem is that your default group (the one in the passwd file) has to be before (if I remember right) all other groups you belong to. Or maybe viceversa. Try that one. In any case, I'm sure that it IS a bug, but I'm too lazy to read the docs on newgrp to find out how it should behave. -- Mark Galassi ...!mozart!rosalia { These opinions are mine and should be everybody else's :-) }
