I'm running a NIS on an network of Ubuntu 8.04 linux systems. I'm seeing a weird problem where the 'id' command is not returning all the groups I am a member of. For example:
So the symptoms are, specifiying the user in the 'id' command puts all the local groups at the end of the lookup instead of the beginning, and shows all the actual NIS groups that I'm a member of.
Has anyone seen this before? If there's any more info you need, please let me know.
My /etc/nsswitch.conf file is specifiying "group: nis files" for lookups.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to UNIX so plz excuse me if this sounds foolish
Assume there exists a group 'xyz' on the NIS as well as on the local UNIX box.
And we added the user 'test' to the local group.
Which group priveleges will 'test' have?
do reply..
thanks,
VJ. (3 Replies)

REVNETGROUP(8) NIS Reference Manual REVNETGROUP(8)NAME
revnetgroup - generate reverse netgroup data
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/yp/revnetgroup [-u | -h]
DESCRIPTION
Revnetgroup processes the standard input in netgroup(5) format into what is called reverse netgroup form. That is, where the original file
shows netgroup memberships in terms of which members reside in a particular group, the reverse netgroup format specifies what groups are
associated with a particular member. This information is used to generate the netgroup.byuser and netgroup.byhosts NIS maps. These reverse
netgroup maps are used to help speed up netgroup lookups, particularly for the innetgr() library function.
The revnetgroup command prints its results on the standard output. It is usually called only by /var/yp/Makefile when rebuilding the NIS
netgroup maps.
OPTIONS -u
Generate netgroup.byuser output; only username information in the original netgroup file is processed.
-h
Generate netgroup.byhost output; only hostname information in the original netgroup file is processed.
FILES
/var/yp/Makefile
The Makefile to build the NIS databases.
/etc/netgroup
The default netgroup database file. This file is most often found only on the NIS master server.
