For some reason my F16 system is not recognizing the groups that I'm
in:<br>
<br>
jik2:~!1016$ whoami<br>
jik<br>
jik2:~!1017$ groups<br>
jik<br>
jik2:~!1018$ groups jik<br>
jik : jik<br>
jik2:~!1019$ grep -w jik /etc/group<br>
jackuser:x:488:jik<br>
jik:x:3009:<br>
build:x:3010:jik<br>
boinc:x:462:jik<br>
vboxusers:x:3038:jik<br>
wireshark:x:453:jik<br>
jik2:~!1020$ <br>
<br>
This is not just the "groups" command malfunctioning; I am indeed
unable to do things which I should be able to do as a member of the
"vboxusers" group:<br>
<br>
jik2:~!1020$ mkdir /tmp/test<br>
jik2:~!1021$ sudo chown root.vboxusers /tmp/test<br>
[sudo] password for jik: <br>
jik2:~!1022$ sudo chmod 770 /tmp/test<br>
jik2:~!1023$ touch /tmp/test/write-test<br>
touch: cannot touch `/tmp/test/write-test': Permission denied<br>
jik2:~!1024$ <br>
<br>
I have selinux disabled.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for what's going on here and how to fix it would be
very much appreciated. It is causing problems for me.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
