This keep bothering me, so here's another question which I cant get solved: One can check with the 'groups' command, into whihc groups the user is placed, Well if I run this for my account I get an empty line. I have some other rights are my default login should permit. However I can's use su since I'm not any longer in 'wheel'. Checking the /etc/group shows that the registry should think that I'm still in all my groups. Does anybody know where the've left my groups. I consider it dangarous to go to root everytime I need a trivial thing done.

If the command is invoked without an argument it will print out the concurrent group set for the current process. If you are logging in with a sys5.3 or aegis environment the concurrent group set will be empty - even if you are a member of multiple groups. To guarantee that login will establish your concurrent groupset, set the node's environment to be bsd (or set your personal .environ file to reflect this choice). See the documentation in the file "/etc/environ". You can also cause the concurrent group set behavior to apply to logins if the login process is running with the environment variable "PROJLIST" set to "TRUE". -- Joe Pato Cooperative Object Computing Operation Hewlett-Packard Company pato@apollo.hp.com
