Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] adding a member doesn't update his group membership?

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hey Jim,

If something is wrong with the user replication process, please
diagnose and fix the system replication process - do not manually do
things. We've got all chances to let bug live by working this way.

Also, anything you fix in /etc/passwd in vcs-noshell will get
overwritten twice an hour.

If it still works this is probably because Akim didn't wait ~30mn for
the changes to replicate.
