PERL script help
Hi all
since you all so graciously helped me out last time, here's to hoping you can help me again. What I have is a windows domain with LOTS of security Groups and Distro Lists. Well, i have the group list and members using dsget and dsquery. But what i want to do is read from that file, then run the command and write each group name to a text file in a directory. After that, I want to run a diff (or build my own diff function) and compare the file sizes rather than openeing ever single text file.
here is my code so far..not all of it works..
#Make sure you copy the text file into the same directory you are running
#the script from, otherwise you will get a failure error
$filename = "insert your filename here";
open (DATA,$filename) || die("Could Not Open Your File, Check the path!:");
while ($filename=<DATA>);
chop($filename);
$members=`dsget group $filename -members -expand | dsget -user -display`; $_=~/$CN=(.*),/;
$filename=$1;
open(OUT,">c:\some\output\path\$filename");
print(OUT,$members);
close(DATA);
Can anyone help??
thanks
Joe

pwck
pwck(1M) System Administration Commands pwck(1M)
NAME
pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/pwck [filename]
/usr/sbin/grpck [filename]
DESCRIPTION
pwck scans the password file and notes any inconsistencies. The checks include validation of the number of fields, login name, user ID,
group ID, and whether the login directory and the program-to-use-as-shell exist. The default password file is /etc/passwd.
grpck verifies all entries in the group file. This verification includes a check of the number of fields, group name, group ID, whether any
login names belong to more than NGROUPS_MAX groups, and that all login names appear in the password file. The default group file is
/etc/group.
All messages regarding inconsistent entries are placed on the stderr stream.
FILES
/etc/group
/etc/passwd
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
getpwent(3C), group(4), passwd(4), attributes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
Group entries in /etc/group with no login names are flagged.
Group file 'filename' is empty
The /etc/passwd or /etc/group file is an empty file.
cannot open file filename: No such file or directory
The /etc/passwd or /etc/group file does not exist.
NOTES
If no filename argument is given, grpck checks the local group file, /etc/group, and also makes sure that all login names encountered in
the checked group file are known to the system getpwent(3C) routine. This means that the login names may be supplied by a network name
service.
