User Groups

[BPatel_1]

Hi All,

I want to know which file to refer in order to get the secondary group assignment information directly instead of going through the SAM and manullay checking the group information for details.

Is there a file which gives me this info. I have checked /etc/group file but this does not provide me the exhaustive details

Thanks in Advance

logins -g group

/etc/group is the only file. It lists the secondary group membership for the users. But remember, you will need to get the primary group information from /etc/passwd.

As mentioned above, logins -g group will display all the members of that particular group.

What "exhaustive details" do you want?

The /etc/group file lists all groups that have been configured on your system and the will list all users that are setup with each group as an additional group.

Hi

what information are you looking for ?

# id login_id

will give u the roup membership info. As others have mentioned, you can also look at /etc/group file.

To get secondary group assignments without using newgrp(1), you need to symlink logingroup to group:
/etc/logingroup@ -> /etc/group

See group(4).

I'm not sure what you think is missing??

Did you check or know if your system uses NIS or LDAP?
For NIS, use "ypcat group" to get the list of all groups, with GID and list of users UIDs (separated with ',' ).
The best options is still to use id or groups command. "id -Gn" to get the groups for the current user or "id -Gn uid" to get them for a user "uid"
