Description

My sincere apologies. It turns out that the groups of the users did change. The changes did show up in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. What didn't change was the group ownership of the files. I didn't understand this. I had to use chgrp for this. Also, I was mistaken about the deletion of the "test" user account. I see now that the the user was removed from /etc/passwd but that the file tree of "test" was not removed. This is most likely in case the files are important. Once again, I apologize. |
