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)

netgroup
NETGROUP(5) BSD File Formats Manual NETGROUP(5)NAME
netgroup -- defines network groups
SYNOPSIS
netgroup
DESCRIPTION
The netgroup file specifies ``netgroups'', which are sets of (host, user, domain) tuples that are to be given similar network access.
Each line in the file consists of a netgroup name followed by a list of the members of the netgroup. Each member can be either the name of
another netgroup or a specification of a tuple as follows:
(host, user, domain)
where the host, user, and domain are character string names for the corresponding component. Any of the comma separated fields may be empty
to specify a ``wildcard'' value or may consist of the string ``-'' to specify ``no valid value''. The members of the list may be separated
by whitespace and/or commas; the ``'' character may be used at the end of a line to specify line continuation. Lines are limited to 1024
characters. The functions specified in getnetgrent(3) should normally be used to access the netgroup database.
Lines that begin with a # are treated as comments.
NIS /YP INTERACTION
On most other platforms, netgroups are only used in conjunction with NIS and local /etc/netgroup files are ignored. With FreeBSD, netgroups
can be used with either NIS or local files, but there are certain caveats to consider. The existing netgroup system is extremely inefficient
where innetgr(3) lookups are concerned since netgroup memberships are computed on the fly. By contrast, the NIS netgroup database consists
of three separate maps (netgroup, netgroup.byuser and netgroup.byhost) that are keyed to allow innetgr(3) lookups to be done quickly. The
FreeBSD netgroup system can interact with the NIS netgroup maps in the following ways:
o If the /etc/netgroup file does not exist, or it exists and is empty, or it exists and contains only a '+', and NIS is running,
netgroup lookups will be done exclusively through NIS, with innetgr(3) taking advantage of the netgroup.byuser and netgroup.byhost
maps to speed up searches. (This is more or less compatible with the behavior of SunOS and similar platforms.)
o If the /etc/netgroup exists and contains only local netgroup information (with no NIS '+' token), then only the local netgroup
information will be processed (and NIS will be ignored).
o If /etc/netgroup exists and contains both local netgroup data and the NIS '+' token, the local data and the NIS netgroup map will
be processed as a single combined netgroup database. While this configuration is the most flexible, it is also the least effi-
cient: in particular, innetgr(3) lookups will be especially slow if the database is large.

COMPATIBILITY
The file format is compatible with that of various vendors, however it appears that not all vendors use an identical format.
SEE ALSO getnetgrent(3), exports(5)BUGS
The interpretation of access restrictions based on the member tuples of a netgroup is left up to the various network applications. Also, it
is not obvious how the domain specification applies to the BSD environment.
The netgroup database should be stored in the form of a hashed db(3) database just like the passwd(5) database to speed up reverse lookups.
