Well it is clear that you cannot add the user to the group A or B, since these group names exist only in the NIS directory and do not exist locally (/etc/group). The NIS administrator should be able to add users to one of these groups. This typically cannot be done from an ordinary host from the command line...
As Don noted, group A and B have the same gid (group id 2560), so the user needs to be added to one group with gid 2560, so only one of those groups. Due to line length limitations there are probably many of them, so far we have seen two groups A, one B, one A5. You will be able to see all of them using:

I was thinking of formatting it to FAT32, but I would like to know if anyone knows a better file system, considering:

Hi,
I have a strange problem. when i do ls i see a folder, say 'abc', but it disappears when i do ls -l. I cannot access or mv that folder. Solaris 10 (SPARC) doesn't allow me to create a new folder with the same name, as it already exists.
'file' command also doesn't recognize i 'abc'... (10 Replies)
Hi,
In one folder there is a hidden folder. Whenever i do any ls -a i can't see the folder. However i can get into the folder by cd .foldername.

group
group(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual group(4)NAME
group - Group file
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/group database contains the following information for each group: Group name Encrypted password Numerical group ID A comma-sepa-
rated list of all users allowed in the group
Note: Do not put any spaces between a comma and a username; otherwise, the username following the comma will not be made a part of the
desired group.
The /etc/group file is an ASCII file, with the fields separated by colons. Each group is separated from the next by a new line. If the
password field is null, no password is demanded.
Because of the encrypted passwords, it can and does have general read permission and can be used, for example, to map numerical group IDs
to names.
Note that commands or scripts used for adding users to groups are subject to the 225 character limit on line lengths. However, you can
split lines as appropriate.
RESTRICTIONS
Increasing the number of groups that a user is in beyond 16 can affect services that use ONC RPC. Tru64 UNIX ONC RPC supports up to 32
groups for compatibility with ULTRIX Version 4.2 and higher. Other vendors may support only 16 groups. ULTRIX versions before 4.2 support
up to 8 groups. Users who increase their group membership beyond 8 or 16 groups will not be able to NFS mount file systems from servers
that only support 8 or 16 groups over NFS. In addition, if root group membership is increased beyond 8 or 16, the NIS service will not work
in a mixed NIS server environment where the servers support only 8 or 16 groups. The addgroup command limits the length of a group name to
eight characters or less.
