Description of problem: No matter what I do, the system will not respect my group memberships. During installation, I made the primary account part of the administrators group (wheel). After installation, I get error messages that I am not in the sudoers file. Check /etc/group, I find wheel:x:10:justin However, the system does not recognize this [root@thebe ~]# groups justin justin : justin I have repeatedly tried `usermod -aG wheel justin` to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : coreutils Arch : x86_64 Version : 8.12 Release : 2.fc16 Size : 13 M How reproducible: Rebooted several times and have run updates Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F16 w/ Btrfs for / (not sure if Btrfs is causing part of the problem) 2. Try to sudo 3. Observe that group memberships are not respected Actual results: membership in /etc/group exists, but `groups` doesn't reflect it. Expected results: entries in /etc/group should match the system groups. Additional info:
