Older (brain-dead IMHO) NFS file servers didn't like you being in more than 6 or 7 or 8 groups at once. Edit /etc/group and logout and back in and see if things work better. P.S. For those who still write such limited software, understand that this can be quite a nightmare to get around in large installations like Iowa State's Project Vincent, or MIT's Project Athena where a user could easily be in fifteen to twenty groups without even knowing it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
