You didn't by any chance use the usermod command? If you omit any of the existing groups that the user is a member of (e.g. wheel) when using the -G option, then the user will be removed from that group. This can be avoided if you use the -a (for append) option. Easy mistake to do especially if you are working on the console and do not copy and paste the long list of groups that the user is currently a member of. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
