Reply with quote

I've just added myself to a group using:

Code:

#gpasswd -a me group

If I try:

Code:

#groups me

I can see I've been successfully added, but when I revert back to my normal user and try:

Code:

$groups

I'm not in that group.

My question is this: When is the group variable updated for users and is there any way to force this without rebooting?

There is probably a better way of doing this, but logging off and logging on again is my method and usually clears things up. Hopefully there is a way to do it without logging out, and I hope someone will enlighten us

Code:

A.44.2.2.20. newgrp

newgrp is used to change the current group ID during a login session.
