Somehow the setgroups call must be executed and only the superuser is allowed to do this, so this needs to be done by a program running as root, i.e. login or a suid program. You could avoid to logout by exec su - <your username> and type in your password again. This will only affect this shell however. If you use X and xdm, only processes started from this shell will have the group list updated. > Is there a command that will update my shell without a logout? What is the problem with logging out? Connected over a modem? Then the above will work. Nils -- Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time. To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
