ll -d shows gid instaed of group name

[Ganesh Balraman]

Hi All,

When i try to run on ll -d on my system it shows gid number insted of group name.

#ll -d /var/opt
drwxrwx--x 55 root 3 8192 secdata

When i try to change the group chown root:sys

Even it displays 3 instead o sys.

Does this happen with the root user or non-root users? If it happens with the root user the /etc/group probably does not exist. If it happens with non-root users, check the permissions on /etc and /etc/group

Does the /etc/group file exist and does it have the correct (-r--r--r--) permissions and ownership (bin bin)?

What does id(1) show for your user and groups?

[Jeeshan]

your /var/ and /var/opt permission should be 555
