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.
