I have found that ommiting the group's comma separated user name list seems to have no effect.
My question is what uses or looks at the username list appended to the group line in the group file i.e.: engr::500:bill,tom,jim acct::600: fact::700: ? It looks to me that as long as bill, tom, and jim's password line looks like: bill:passwd:uid:500:Bill Jones:........ ,then their group is assigned correctly and their group related stuff works as it should even though the group file line does not contain their userid's as in:: engr::500: Thanks for any insight, Scott _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
