Try "id", and check what groups "peter" is in. You might need to restart your desktop after changing group membership, to get the full effect, as the initialisation of some parts of the desktop might rely on permissions from the groups belonged to. - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
