find hard to understand why. I have created a group called smbusers which I am a

I then created a directory called foodir, owned by adm with group smbusers and
give the following permissions to it: 770 I verify the permissions are correct
and are accessible by members of its group, but I cannot access the directory.
?Everytime I try to cd into the directory, I get a permission denied error. It
is a group issue because when I change the permission to 777, I do have access.
Below is output I get from different commands: # groups michaelmichael: michael,
smbusers # groupsmichael adm #iduid=500(michael) gid=500(michael) groups=4(adm),
500(michael) The /etc/group file shows I'm in the smbusers group but does
not show I'm in the adm group (although I believe I added myself to the adm
group when I installed the operating system). Clear

Use the id command to check what groups you are in. Stop nscd if it is
running and run id again.
