I decided to create a one-user group, as used to be the default with |
| 2 |
RedHat. So, I issued |
| 3 |
root $ groupadd jorge |
| 4 |
Then: |
| 5 |
root $ usermod -g jorge jorge |
| 6 |
(I want this to be my default group.) |
| 7 |
/etc/passwd reflects the changes: |
| 8 |
jorge $ cat /etc/passwd|grep jorge |
| 9 |
jorge:x:1000:409::/home/jorge:/bin/bash |
| 10 |
(409 is the number of the new group) |
| 11 |
However: |
| 12 |
jorge $ cat /etc/group|grep jorge |
| 13 |
wheel:x:10:root,jorge |
| 14 |
audio:x:18:jorge |
| 15 |
video:x:27:root,jorge |
| 16 |
users:x:100:games,jorge |
| 17 |
portage:x:250:portage,jorge |
| 18 |
And: |
| 19 |
jorge $ groups |
| 20 |
wheel audio video users portage |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
jorge $ id |
| 23 |
uid=1000(jorge) gid=100(users) |
| 24 |
groups=10(wheel),18(audio),27(video),100(users),250(portage) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I edited /etc/group with vigr to add user jorge to group jorge. Still, |
| 27 |
id and groups give outdated output... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Wasn't usermod supposed to deal with this? |
| 30 |
I env-update'd (as root) and sourced /etc/profile (as jorge), for good |
| 31 |
measure. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
(When I login to a vt, the new group is recognized as the default group, |
| 34 |
so I'm guessing the "id" and "groups" issue has to do with the login or |
| 35 |
no login shell matter, something I never really understood; but what |
| 36 |
about the need to edit /etc/group?) |
