Hello.
I am having a problem with user groups in QNX 6.1 logging in through pterm
vs telnet login. It seems that pterm does not set the proper user groups
according to the /etc/group file.
Better to show than describe:
in /etc/group:
user:x:100:
hwdev:x:101:user1,user2,user3
in /etc/passwd:
user1:x:100:100:User 1:/home/user1:/bin/sh
user2:x:101:100:User 2:/home/user2:/bin/sh
user3:x:102:100:User 3:/home/user3:/bin/sh
I telnet into the box as user1 and
$ id
uid=100(user1) gid=100(user) groups=101(hwdev)
I open up a pterm -l terminal window in photon, and
$ id
uid=100(user1) gid=100(user)
$ newgrp
$ id
uid=100(user1) gid=100(user) groups=101(hwdev)
Why are the two login cases different?
Cheers,
Stuart Harding
