smbnull

[A.G.M. Velthof]

Hello to all,

on ux11.x systems there is a default grou smbnull with groupid 101.

I need that number for nfs.

Is there a good reason for not removing this group (smbnull), except using samba?

regards, Alfons

If not using samba you are free to remove this group.

If using samba, you can change the GID to any other value.

Ok, thanks Rainer

You can change the UID of smbnull, it wont affect anyother stuffs.

Just to be safe, check if there are any files on your system that have group ID of smbnull.

find / -group smbnull -print

Should you find any (and you probably won't) don't forget to change their group-id to smbnull after you have changed the group number of smbnull from 101 to your new value, otherwise they'll belong to whatever group name you associate with 101.
