adding user to dip group doesn't work

[Mark Phillips <mark@infoeng.flinders.edu.au>]

Hi,

I have just added a user to my dip group so that I can run pon as this
user.  But it didn't work, because that user doesn't seem to have
access to the /etc/ppp directory etc.  This is really strange because
we have

drwxr-x---    6 root     dip

for the /etc/ppp directory.

Perhaps there is something that needs to be run before changes to
/etc/group and /etc/gshadow take effect?  If so what is it?

Cheers,

Mark.
