GID problem

Kimberly Kim_1 — Fri, 10 Oct 2003 16:28:27 GMT

Hi,

I setup an GID on /etc/passwd file as well as in group file on our NIS server. But user name doesn't show with the GID.

>id
uid=1629(ddd) gid=191()

/etc/group file
lang::191:bdubbert,ccl,cnikiel,ddd

NIS group file
lang::191:bdubbert,ccl,cnikiel,ddd

Anyone know why?

Thanks,
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,

Your group ID is unrecognized.
Run grpck to see if possibly corrupted group file.

Rgds,
Jeff

I checked the permission of the /etc/group, and it wasn't readable by others. After add read permission fot other, it works.

Thanks!

Did you rebuild NIS maps after making changes in /etc/group file?
Check the 'group' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf to make sure it is read from the local file.
