finding users group

TCEQ UNIX — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 09:18:42 GMT

Is there a command that I can run from command line to find primary and secondary groups of list of NIS users. "id username" displays all groups user belongs to but does not specify which one is primary group .

thanks

When you run the 'id username' command the first group in the GID= list should the primary group as defined in /etc/passwd or your NIS database.

using ypcat passwd will result in a list from your passwd file. The group id in the 4th field of each line is the users prim-group
