HP-UX Restricted SAM

I am having trouble getting restricted SAM to work by allocating Privileges to a "group". I can make it work by allocaing to the userid's, but would preferre to use the "group" option.

Running B.11.11

Tried the following....

1) Created a user group in /etc/group first
2) Used the restricted SAM menu to create a user group.

Noticed that after option 2 there was no entry in the /etc/group file. But /etc/sam/custom/samgrp.gp was created?

maybe I add the user ids there....

Thoughs, questions, ideas or even the answer would be good.

Thanks

problem solved....!
In order to use the restricted SAM under a user group as defined in /etc/group the login id's "primary" group must be set to the groupID you which to use to control restricted SAM access.

Thanks to those who put on there "thinking caps" :-)
