maybe i'm screwing up, but i just tripped over what seems to be a notable difference in the behaviour of "usermod" between ubuntu and debian. with ubuntu, after i installed docker-ce and wanted to be able to run docker without "sudo", i would add myself to the docker group with: $ sudo usermod -aG docker rpjday i could see i was now listed as such in /etc/group but, obviously, that did not take effect in the current terminal -- i would log out and log back in and i would now be in the docker group, as shown by "id" and "groups" and all was good. with debian, after i ran that "usermod" command, even after i logged out and back in again, i was not effectively in the docker group (even though i was listed as such in /etc/group). instead, i had to reboot the machine entirely, and *then* i was shown in the docker group. does this make any sense? it's a very disturbing difference if true. rday To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscribe [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To get help send a blank message to linux+help [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
