- Seems that if i try to create a user with a group id different than the
- user id that the uid is taken as the first group. Thus when I try to create
- a file, if logged in as say joe whose group id has been assigned as 6 (users)
- and userid 201 (joe), then the file is created as if the group owner is 201
- rather than 6. Also if I type groups the list comes up as [201 users] rather
- than just [users], which is the only group to which joe currently belongs.
- Any Ideas?
-
- PS: I'm hoping to set my user id's to the same values as I'm using on my other
- unix boxes, that's why I'm choosing 201 (for example), all in anticipation
- of NFS.
