13:17.17bilarhis it valid to have two groups of the same name with the same gid and different users in /etc/group?
13:17.26bilarhnis has a 1024 character line length limit
13:17.45bilarhso we have several groups with different name but same gid
13:17.54bilarhbut would it still work if we had the same name as well?
13:18.39wethrindo it differently in NIS
13:18.50wethrinuse subgroups
13:19.00bilarhhow do you mean?
13:19.52wethrinWell, at least with netgroups (and I think the same would be true of others), you can define a group that contains other groups
13:19.57wethrinso:
13:20.08wethringroup     sub1 sub2 sub3 (user,,)
13:20.14wethrinsub1    (user1,,) (user2,,)
13:20.22wethrinsub2 (user3,,) (user4,,)
13:20.34bilarhhmm, but that's not valid /etc/group syntax
13:21.02wethrinDon't use NIS :)
13:21.20bilarhplace your head on the pavement for us, please ;)
13:22.44wethrinhttp://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/12/11/2242206&tid=130&tid=4
13:22.48wethrinNest groups
13:26.32bilarhwethrin: umm... did you read the article?
13:27.15wethrinyes. After pasting it
13:27.19wethrin(like a good slashdotter)
13:27.20bilarh;)
13:27.29wethrinlooks like you're going to have to do silly things with netgroups
13:27.40bilarhhmm sounds like too much work
13:27.50bilarhand netgroups is for computers, not users
13:28.25wethrinYou have users too
13:28.32wethrinbut it's not quite the same
13:28.56bilarhoh actually it seems you're right :)
13:29.11bilarhhttp://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/SYSADV5/anis2-38485.html
13:31.23bilarhanyway, i'm just writing a little script to modify groups for my own amusement, so i'll just bodge a solution in perl that adds a counter if needs be
