[Dennis Handly]

Are you in 21 groups? There is a limit of 20.

[Sajjad Sahir]

no maximum group number is 19
prod1# wc -l /etc/group
19

[Sajjad Sahir]

Who is the user and what is the group?
(What is the output of id(1)?)
If the user is osa1, I don't see it in your group file, so it can only be the member of one group.

[Sajjad Sahir]

i mean oinstall(sorry for os1)

[Sajjad Sahir]

prod1# id
uid=0(root) gid=3(sys) groups=0(root),1(other),2(bin),4(adm),5(daemon),6(mail),7
(lp),20(users)
prod1# id oracle
uid=200(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba)

What's missing? Both root and oracle look fine.
Each is a member of gid and the ones in groups.

Dear Dennis

oracle team is telling me they want to see from it root
i mean if we are using id then they have to see oinstall also

Hi,

reading your first question

<<

and then your latest

<<

I don't them together with your /etc/groups file:
- there is no entry osa1
- oinstall has no additional members

So ask yourself
- which user- and groupnames are used by the oracle team?
And then
- check these entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
- add additional members to the group entries (last field, comm seperated) if needed

Then you need to add root to the oinstall group.

[Sajjad Sahir]

Yes dennis u are right
but what do u mean by "Then you need to add root to the oinstall group."

[Dennis Handly]

>but what do you mean by "Then you need to add root to the oinstall group."

Either edit /etc/group directly and change the line to:
oinstall::200:root

Or try usermod(1M):
# usermod -G oinstall root

Unfortunately that probably will give you:
Login root is currently in use
