Hi all,
I am going around in circles with a permissions problem.
I have a user bob in groups bob, I now create a group pico
and add bob to the pico group with "usermod -a -G pico bob"
but when I log in as bob and run the groups command bob only
shows up in a group call bob and there is no sign of pico.
If I log is as root and run groups bob I get bob : bob pico
I have set up a USB device with permissions of root:pico
and want bob to be able to access this device.
Any ideas why bob is not showing up in the pico group.
Regards
Philip
