Creating user groups that are persistent
Hi,

I need to modify the user 'munfai' by adding it into groups bscs, oinstall, dba.
I use this command as user root to add the user into the mentioned groups :

Code:
# usermod -G bscs,oinstall,dba munfai

I can thereafter see the id in the groups :

Code:
# id munfai
uid=258(munfai) gid=20(users) groups=106(oinstall),107(dba),108(bscs)

However, I also should be able to see these groups assigned to this user when I log into the user account 'bscs'. As root user, I su to user bscs to login to this account. However in this account, I do not see the groups listed above for user 'munfai' :

Code:
bscs.L28bi02> (/bscswork_bi2/WORK/UMOBILE)
$ id munfai
uid=258(munfai) gid=20(users)

Why is this, and how do I make the groups available for 'munfai' under the account bscs?
