Hello I just changed /etc/groups like this: cvs:*:1001:hans I added the user hans to group cvs Now could someone explain me this: [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] ls -l total 2 drwxrwxr-x 4 cvs cvs 512 Mar 7 14:05 cvs drwxr-xr-x 15 hans hans 1024 Mar 7 11:36 hans [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] touch cvs/test touch: cvs/test: Permission denied [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] whoami hans [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] id uid=1000(hans) gid=1000(hans) groups=1000(hans), 0(wheel) [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] id hans uid=1000(hans) gid=1000(hans) groups=1000(hans) 0(wheel) 1001(cvs) [hans@sunbbw060 /usr/home] Which means two things: The user hans cannot write to a dir that belongs to group cvs lathough he appears to have the right permissions. And id returns two different results based on the optional user argument. I must have misunderstood the basics of the file access system here, I'd be glad if someone could enlighten me a bit. thx and peace, Tobe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
