Changing groups - and problems
Hiya folks,

I have decided to change GID of a existing group to resolve a clash in IDs. There are files/directories having GID permissions on the said ID.
Planning to change the ID using groupmod. Then run a find command to check the group ownership and to change it.
Should this be good ?. Can you share your experience as well.
Cheers
Tim

Code:
groupmod -g new_gid group_name
find / -group old_gid | xargs chgrp group_name
