Description Singer Michael 2011-10-14 11:10:06 UTC

Description of problem:
While expanding the group membership of a user, an error occurs. I want to record the user "michael" in the group "users" with the following command in the console:

# usermod -a -G users michael
# echo $?
0

When executing this command does not error or it is not displayed. The return code is zero. In the file /etc/group the user is listed as a member of the group "users".

# grep users /etc/group
users:x:100:michael

Now, when I command "id" is the newly added group "user" in the user "michael" is not displayed.

# id michael
uid=1000(michael) gid=1000(michael) Gruppen=1000(michael)

Thus, the user "michael" no rights "users" group.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
