I've got a cgi program that needs access to a file owned by the user:group
netsaint:netsaint.

the apache webserver runs as www, so I modified this entry in /etc/groups

netsaint:*:1004:www


however, the cgi i'm working with says it can't write to the file of
interest unless i've modified the file i'm trying to write to with www as
the group, like this:

-rwxrwxr-x  1 netsaint  www     9006 Dec 12 16:30 hosts.cfg

What am i missing here?

Why can't i just add www to the list of users in the group netsaint?

TIA.
