problems with defining secondary groups on HPUX10.20

We have run in to this problem on a system we just feel into, when you are in a seconday group it will not let you read or write anything owned by that group. Have any of you encountered this? We had to change the person main group and remove him from the seconday group to get it to work.

Re: problems with defining secondary groups on HPUX10.20

Maybe you could just define a symbolic link for /etc/logingroup, pointing to /etc/group.
This way, all groups are loaded in the credentials at login time.
If you don't have the appropriate logingroup file, your users will need to use 'newgrp' to be recognised as a member of this group.
