How To Determine What Netgroups A User Belongs To

[robs58]

In an NIS environment, what command given at the CLI will allow me to view/determine any/all netgroups that a user belongs to?

I am running HP-UX ver. 11.11 in a large NIS environment.

Note: I heard that the following command would provide the names of any/all netgroup that user "smith" belongs to. Unfortunately, it did not work. All helpful comments are
welcomed and appreciated.

# ypmatch 'smith.*' netgroup.byuser
ypmatch: can't match smith.*.
Reason: no such key in map


Thanks ahead of time!

Shalom Roger,

how about an OS command.

id

That worked for me on NIS slaves.

Hi,

#ypwhich
ypwhich will return name of NIS server

#ypwhich -m
-m : will return available maps on NIS.

#ypwhich -m |grep -i netgroup


And your answer:

#ypcat -k netgroup |grep -i

Please find some documentation in docs.hp.com for more information on NIS.

Cheers!!
