I have added 3 users and gave each their default group name, which was the same as their user name, but when learning how to apply quotas, I wanted all 3 of these users in a group called 'users'. I went into /etc/group and changed the group name of the first user (GID 1000) to 'users' and then used chpass to change the other 2 user's group to 1000. When each of them logs on, performing echo $GROUP returns 'users' but when each of them created a new file, that file's group is each of their former group names, not 'users'. How do I change a user's group? Did I change these correctly? How do I make it when the user's group is changed that any new files that user creates are in the new group? thank you banksw@sunyit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
