groups command on SLES 9

[Scott Gardner]

I don't know if this is a bug, but I'd appreciate it if you could explain 
why the "groups" command doesn't return the correct list of groups if you 
telnet into a SLES 9 machine.

"groups" command on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) -- VERSION = 9
After I telnet into the machine, these command are run...

[root wesdintel28]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

[root wesdintel28]# groups
root

[root wesdintel28]# groups root
root : root mqm mqbrkrs

[root wesdintel28]# su -
[root wesdintel28]# groups
root mqm mqbrkrs

"groups" command on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 
4)
After I telnet into the machine, I run the "groups" command and everything 
looks fine.

[root wesdintel18 root]# groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel mqm mqbrkrs

Thanks,

Scott Gardner
