Full Discussion: List files whose owner or group is numeric
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting List files whose owner or group is numeric Post 303014756 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 20th of March 2018 11:03:24 AM

Do you mean group id and user id for numbers?

Code:
cat /etc/group

will show you what numbers to use, /etc/passwd has userids.

Example: user john is uid 633 and group 101:
Code:
find . -type f   \( -user 633 -o -group 101 \)

will start you going.

Note that these numbers are usually not portable between servers, some uid's are constant like root, but john's uid could be almost any number > 100.

Edit: the id command will help, too.
Code:
id john

will show the uid and the group(s) for the user named john. Some users may be in multiple groups

dpns-chown

DPNS-CHOWN(1)							DPNS User Commands						     DPNS-CHOWN(1)

NAME

       dpns-chown - change owner and group of a DPNS directory/file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       dpns-chown [-h] [-R] owner[:group] path...

       dpns-chown [-h] [-R] :group path...

DESCRIPTION

       dpns-chown sets the owner and/or the group of a DPNS directory/file in the name server to the values in owner and group respectively.

       To change the owner ID, if the group ID does not change and if the caller and the new owner ID belong to that group, GRP_ADMIN privilege is
       needed, otherwise the caller must have ADMIN privilege in the Cupv database.  To change the group ID, the effective user ID of the  process
       must  match  the  owner	ID  of the file and the new group must be in the list of groups the caller belong to or the caller must have ADMIN
       privilege in the Cupv database.

       owner  is either a valid username or a valid numeric ID.

       group  is either a valid group name or a valid numeric ID.

       path   specifies the DPNS pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h     If path is a symbolic link, changes the ownership of the link itself.

       -R     Recursive mode.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
