If the terminal starts a new login session, yes. They usually default to _not_. You can type 'exec su $USER' and then your password at the prompt...

Damn this > dumbing down of Gnome. system-config-users seems to be still available. It's moderately user-friendly. From the command line, I think 'gpasswd groupname -a username' is the easiest. (You can use groupmod, but it's got some gotchas with behavior where gpasswd is straightforward despite the irrelevant-sounding name.) -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
