Cleaning up /etc/group

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Luis,

Running

grpck

command will verify that there are no problems in the group file. If there are then they have to be manually corrected.

Rgds,

Luis,

As Jeff suggested try :-

grpck

This will list erroneous items that need correcting.

Whilst doing this you could also do :-

pwck

just to check the integrity of the /etc/passwd file.

Another useful check is to do the following when the server is quiet :-

find . -depth -type f -nouser -o -nogroup -exec ls -l {} \;

This will list files with no user or group details that require amending also.

Hope this helps.
