FW: question regarding id command

Fri Apr 5 16:10:00 GMT 2002

I have missed word "not" in my previous email.
" Why the output of id -Gn and id -Gn Sgupta is NOT same , assuming that I
am logged in as Sgupta "
It looks like id -Gn prints all the groups (Primary, Secondary), if I put
user name like id -Gn SGupta , it only prints the Primary Group.
Is it true ? According to docmentaion of id command, it should print all
(Primary, Secondary) groups. 
Please let me know, if I am wrong ?
Thanks
Sanjay
