Date: 16 Sep 1995 02:42:21 GMT Organization: Columbia University Center for Telecommunications Research Lines: 43 Message-ID: <43ddid$2j1@sol.ctr.columbia.edu> References: <43bpic$l1c@news.uni-paderborn.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: startide.ctr.columbia.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Thorsten Kukuk (jkuku1@uni-paderborn.de) had the courage to say: : Hello! : For testing purpose, I have set up a FreeBSD workstation in our WHAT VERSION OF FREEBSD, FER CHRISSAKES!! : local net. As NIS Servers we use a Sparc and a Linux box. : I get the users and groups from the NIS Server, and all my Users : can log in. But id user only shows this groups from the user from : the local group file, not the groups which stands in the NIS group. : If the main group of the user stands only in a NIS group, id shows : for each other group in the NIS map, in which the user is, the : name and id from the main group. : Its something like this: : id kukuk(??) uni-pb(1000), wheel(0) uni-pb(1000) uni-pb(1000) .... : Thorsten I have to take some time to try to parse this correctly (sorry, but it's hard to understand exactly what you're trying to say here), plus I need to get my test machine machine up and running again. At the moment I can't think of a failure mode that would account for this behavior, I think it's fairly obvious there's a bug somewhere. I have hacked the getgrent() code a bit since 2.0.5 though, so I need to check things against the new code first. -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
