Hello Arturo,

I think that you can find the solution with logingroup, man logingroup.

HTH, Vicente.

You can try logingroup or newgrp for more details please see man pages.

Sorry, this is the solution for the membership of the account on various groups, but i must to join the new account on various groups. It is'nt possible to create one hierarchy of groups? Creating the user in one group, it's member in the other one, because the "hierarchy".

Just out of curiousity... buy why would you want to do this? doesn't this compromise security? Unix already has a group that "everyone" can belong to... it's called users.
Is there some type of application that you are trying to give everyone permissions to?
I'm curious as to your reasons for doing this.

Hi,

There is no concept of group hierarchy in HP-UX I'm afraid - there is no place in /etc/group for other group names within a group.

regards,

Darren.

Hm,probably you should try some more advanced
methods,like ldap maybe?

In my installation it's a definition of groups and the user's membership that i believe correct. I must create an other new group (A)composed by the users of all the users of various existing groups (B) and others users.
In the future if an otther user is created on an existing group of A, i must to include on A and on B (and on C, on D).
My question was if it's an other way more easy to do this, but...
TIA
