Have a look at the output of id(1): j@uriah 179% id uid=107(j) gid=101(other) That's my primary UID and GID. groups=101(other), 0(wheel), 5(operator), 7(bin), 8(news), 31(guest), 40(cvs), 41(msql), 66(uucp), 117(dialer), 5001(ppp) These are all the groups i'm a member of. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
