I added myself (gt) to my dialout group. Simple enough. When I ran 'groups' dialout was not one of gt's groups. So I added my other user (garyt) to my group file. su to garyt and run groups and there he is. su back to gt, run groups -- not there. Back to root, edit file reversing the order of the users (thinking to expose a syntactical error). All to no avail. garyt can join the group and gt can't.
Can anyone shed any light on this? -- gt Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
