Read and understand your text completely? No.

What I meant was:

The output of 'id' in my "regular setup" shows:

@@# id
uid=1003(Henri) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users)

The output of 'id' in the "test setup" shows:

$ id
uid=1003(Henri) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),0(root),545(Users),4(+INTERACTIVE),\
11(+AuthenticatedUsers),4095CurrentSession),66048(+LOCAL)

To me the second output is different - but perhaps it is not.

Henri
