Problems using mock on Fedora 15

[Brad Bell]

I am having trouble using mock on Fedora 15 and am not sure what the 
problem is. Here are the error messages I am getting:

     [bradbell@brad-home cppad]$ fedpkg mockbuild
     warning: Could not canonicalize hostname: brad-home.localdomain
     Wrote: /home/bradbell/fedpkg/cppad/cppad-20110101.5-1.fc17.src.rpm
     ERROR: Must be member of 'mock' group to run mock! ([])
     ... snip ...

     [bradbell@brad-home cppad]$ mock --version
     ERROR: Must be member of 'mock' group to run mock! ([])

     [bradbell@brad-home cppad]$ groups
     mock

Try a completely fresh session, and see what id gives you.

I rebooted the machine and still have the same problem

[bradbell@brad-home ~]$ groups
mock
[bradbell@brad-home ~]$ mock --version
ERROR: Must be member of 'mock' group to run mock! ([])
... snip ...

I'm guessing bradbell has mock assigned as their default group as groups
is only returning the one result?

"bradbell" must be a member of "mock" in /etc/group for mock to work.
Try running "getent group mock" instead. You want it to return something
like "mock:x:448:bradbell"

Yes, the only group bradbell belonged to was mock.

I changed the groups so that now
     [bradbell@brad-home diabetes]$ groups
     bradbell mock
and
     [bradbell@brad-home diabetes]$ getent group mock
     mock:x:491:bradbell
I was able to build the a package in mock with these group settings.

Thanks
