You're right here, the original has a syntax error. > Was: > > $GID='id -g mail' > > changed to > > GID=$(id -d mail) > > (which really makes no sense unless the author wants to pick a "safe" > GID. but I did not look into it any deeper ... the script appears to run > now). This indeed doesn't make any sense. I think it must be GID=$(id -g $1) This way $GID becomes the GID of the group youare deleting. It is only used for checking if there are any references to this GID in /etc/passwd. This might occur if you are deleting a group and the user with the same name hasn't been deleted.
