I've come into something strange.
I just added a user to the www-data group, the user appears in both /etc/group
and /etc/group-
, however when I use the groups
or id
commands the group isn't listed; and the user can't chgrp a file into www-data.
What could be the problem? I'm using a Debian testing machine, never had this kind of problem.
Thanks a lot; I was closing and opening a new terminal, I though that was enough. – kevinz – 2010-01-28T21:30:54.547
1Nope, the new terminal is just inheriting the uid/gids from what started it (probably your window manager) – MikeyB – 2010-01-28T22:03:35.763
I did not see the new groups until I did a
su - $USER
.login
did not work either. – Jess – 2013-04-05T01:43:31.397
