Write Permisson Denied

[balamuruganmurthy]

I created a user "CATUSER" and using the usermod command I had set the secondary group of the "CATUSER" to "beagrp".

usermod -a -G beagrp CATUSER

********************
$ whoami
CATUSER

$ id CATUSER
uid=6002(CATUSER) gid=6002(CATUSER) groups=6002(CATUSER),515(beagrp) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

**********************


Then i tried to create a file in the directory /apps for which the group is "beagrp" and the file permission settings for the directory is as follows:

***************
$ cd /

$ ls -lrt
drwxrwxr-x 5 bea beagrp 4096 Jul 28 13:43 apps

*************************

But when i tried to create a file in the /apps directory as the user "CATUSER" i got a Permission denied error message.

*************************
$ touch a.txt
touch: cannot touch `a.txt': Permission denied

********************************

Am i missing here something. Can some one point out the mistake here and help me get out this issue?

Thanks,
Bala.

are you completely logging out or do you su to CATUSER?

are you just doing:

su CATUSER

try doing

su - CATUSER

Thanks for your reply. The issue is resolved now. After making the changes, I logged out completely and then logged in to create the file and it was successful.
