id command not giving secondary groups...

[jmckinzie]

Can anyone help me figure out why the id command will not list all secondary groups?

As root i type it, it works fine for a specific user however when i type id username as another user, it only gives me the gid not the secondary groups.

Hi:

# groups -l username

but why does the id command work as expected?

I do believe the listing of supplimental groups for "other" users is limited to root's privelage.

With root login you can see the secondary groups of all the users.
