Mike,
Check /etc/nsswitch.conf . Group membership is determined by NSS.
/etc/group corresponds to the "files" entry for the "group:" config line
in that conf file. Other possibilities might be NIS, LDAP, etc. I'm also
assuming you've tried doing the "id <username>" command to see what
group memberships everything thinks they have, I think there's also the
"members <groupname>" command in some flavors of Linux and BSD.

All,
I'm hoping to find a UNIX/Linux guru, and I figured this would be the
place to find one. I'm having an issue with my groups. I recently
had some users added to a group, and they don't seem to really be in
that group, despite what /etc/group says. I've specified a script to
be group-runnable and it can't be run by other users in the group.
The directory structure may be important in that the group should be
able to get down to my level /path/to/me because /path and /path/to
have other r-x perms
. However, the /path/to/me/ directory has group rwx permissions (all
three) without having any "other" permissions.
This is a 1000+ user system.
Do any of you have any idea what may be happening? I've RTFM like all
day, and I'm still missing something.
Thanks,
Mike Hudson
