Not the same here, as I expected: $ ls -l testfile -r-----r-- 1 root cdwrite 9 Jan 11 22:13 testfile $ id uid=500(paul) gid=500(paul) groups=105(mock),500(paul),502(cdwrite),503(scanner) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t $ cat testfile cat: testfile: Permission denied $ I'm a member of the "cdwrite" group and can't access the file, but I would be able to if I wasn't a member of the group.
