SolutionHello,
The answer is NO. This is not supported.
There is an old thread on the same topics:
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/System-Administration/Nested-Groups-in-HP-UX-Possible/m-p/4900842#M404020
As a proof of concept, here is a test setup
in /etc/group on my HP-UX 11.31 server:
...
groupa::200:user2,user3
groupb::201:user4,user5
groupc::202:user6,user7,user8
groupd::203:groupa,groupb,groupc
...
If you run a check:
# grpck
the error is:
groupd::203:groupa,groupb,groupc
groupa - Logname not found in password file
groupb - Logname not found in password file
groupc - Logname not found in password file
Cheers,
VK2COT

Re: Nested groups
In my case I had users in 3 groups that needed access to a particular folder on the server that other users weren't supposed to have access to.
I ended up using ACL's at the root of that folder, then created a public directory inside of that folder so everyone could view the files.
Thx for your time,
Andy

Re: Nested groups
You can of course script this to copy the users from the three groups to the new one.
