6.22 id/groups doesn't show secondary groups in dtterm/CDE
Under HP-UX10.20 with CDE, if your account (at least with NIS)
has multiple groups associated with it, the "id/groups" command
will not show the secondary groups inside a dtterm window ...
and they in fact do not work. What is confusing is that they
*do* work when you fire up an Xterm. Note that /etc/logingroup
is correctly symlinked to /etc/group.
Turns out the solution is fairly simple ... apply a patch!
PHSS_8667 fixes a number of CDE related problems, including this one.
Alek Komarnitsky got befuddled by this one for a while (! ;-), and
thanx to mike_stroyan@fc.hp.com & gregc@hpupora.nsr.hp.com for
identifying this as the fix (didn't pop up in a Mayfield search).
