Alkis, I am getting an error when trying to run the latest version of epoptes. Specifically, it says my account is not a member of the epoptes group. However, that is not the case, see the output from the terminal session below. david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ epoptes User david.hopkins must be a member of group epoptes to run epoptes. david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ groups Domain Users epoptes david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ tail -1 /etc/group epoptes:x:128:root,david.hopkins david.hopkins@ncslts1:~$ cat /etc/default/epoptes # The port where the server will be listening on, and where the client will try # to connect to. For security reasons it defaults to a system port, 569. #PORT=569 # Epoptes server will use the following group for the communications socket. # That means that any user in that group will be able to launch the epoptes UI # and control the clients. SOCKET_GROUP=epoptes The epoptes service is running. I am confused about why this doesn't seem to work.
