Re: cvs import problem

[C.G.Senthilkumar.]

Hi,

I'm seem to have tracked down the problem.
But I don't understand why this is happening
and what is the solution.

This is the output for id command when I'm
logged in locally to machine_A. The user is
'cheetanc'.
address@hidden cheetanc]$ id
uid=500(cheetanc) gid=500(cheetanc) groups=500(cheetanc)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the output for id command when I
ssh from machine_B to machine_A.
address@hidden cheetanc]$ id
uid=500(cheetanc) gid=500(cheetanc) groups=500(cheetanc),504(cvs)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can see that the user cheetanc is part
of the group cvs in the second case when
not in the first case, (i.e) when logged in
locally. Here are the corresponding entries
in /etc/group.
address@hidden cheetanc]$ cat /etc/group | grep cheetanc
cheetanc:x:500:
cvs:x:504:cheetanc

Quite weird. What is happening?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Senthil.
