Re: trouble using mkgroup -d

Hi,

I have trouble using mkgrp -d : . As expected, I am trying to fix the passwd and groups files.

I was succesfull using mkpasswd -d -u Mirko >> /etc/passwd

However, I was less succesfull with mkgrp -d -g. I am not sure what to supply to the -g switch.

I would rather not do just mkgrp -d, since the number of groups on the domain seems enormeous.

I did get around the problem by copying the relevant entries for myself from the passwd file (ID, default group) and creating a group in the groups file, but I would like to learn how to do it the ``right way''

Thanks,

Mirko

The above post is full of mis-spellings. I was using mkgroup, and not mkgrp.

My unix inexperience is showing ... I am writing this from home, while the above was happening at work.

Sorry.

Mirko
