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.
