Hartmann" To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: manpages vs. reality Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, I posted a lot about this problem ... Manpages for /etc/group says, that each user is uniquely defined in a group by adding its group number via vipw in master.passwd. But this is not true, you must put each user separately into the groupmember field of the group in /etc/group. Why? Can anybody explain, why this is fact but the manpages are not pointing to that?
