i'll reframe my problem...this should be easy to debug ...


Code:
bash-3.00$ A=`cat /etc/group|awk -F: '{if ($1$3 == "secur138"){print $NF}}'|sort|uniq`
bash-3.00$ echo $A
t9330sp,t0096pg,t6899bs,t2483eb,t1563dr,t6658pb t9330sp,t0096pg,t6899bs,t2483eb,t1563dr,t6658pb,smadmn,sysweb,root

See that green colored string....rest all strings(or members) are comma separated....whereas this string is not..it should have been t6658pb,t9330sp...

and its happening because

Code:
bash-3.00$  cat /etc/group|awk -F: '{if ($1$3 == "secur138"){print $NF}}'
t9330sp,t0096pg,t6899bs,t2483eb,t1563dr,t6658pb
t9330sp,t0096pg,t6899bs,t2483eb,t1563dr,t6658pb,smadmn,sysweb,root

i have two groups defined with same name and id ,but few diffrent members....

My code looks like following to capture these comma separated strings:

Code:
Host etcGroup DUP:

cat /etc/group | awk -F':' '{print $1$3}'|sort|uniq


Userlist:

A=`cat /etc/group|awk -F: '{if ($1$3 == "@@Host etcGroup.DUP@@") {print $NF}}'|sort|uniq`

B=`echo $A|wc -w`

if [ $B = 0 ]
then
echo NULL
else
count=`echo $A| nawk -F, {'print NF'}`
i=1
while [ $i -le $count ]
do
str[$i]=`echo $A| cut -d, -f${i}`
echo "${str[$i]}"
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
fi


any ideas?

Abhi

To anwer your query:
Quote:
Query3:
Is it possible to define multiple groups with same name and id?
I use mutiple groups with the same GID but different names to get around the maximum string length problem, e.g.
Code:
group:x:1024:member1,member2,member3
groupa:x:1024:member4,member5,member6
groupb:x:1024:member7,member8,member9

If the have the same name then in Solaris only one of the lines would count, proof would be to run:
Code:
$ getent group <groupname>

To query the group that has two lines with the same name and GID using an OS call and see what gets listed.
