Shell Programming and Scripting

hi,

Im using AIX.

when i type the code it says:

Code:

grep: 0652-033 Cannot open /etc/nsswitch.conf.

and for

Code:

$which getent
 
which: 0652-141 There is no getent in /pgms/scheduler/lsf/7.0/aix5-64/etc //pgms/scheduler/lsf/7.0/aix5-64/bin /usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /usr/bin/X11 /sbin /usr/java5/jre/bin /usr/java5/bin.

Thanks

ok just to help this along I have not been keeping up but it looks like you are using LDAP for auth. so if you want a list of the groups try a lsgroup ALL
and put it in a file for reference and search it for group ID and match to human name.

Hi aix-guy,

I can link it up but how do i put in code to reflect the complete groupname displayed?

Thanks

ok not sure I understand what you are asking but here is a output from lsgroup that should be usable for you
lsgroup -c -a id ALL |grep -v "#"
It produces the following

Code:

system:0
staff:1
sys:3
uucp:5
mail:6
security:7
printq:9
ecs:28
nobody:4294967294
usr:99
perf:20
shutdown:21
haemrm:201
dba:219

Now the reflect the complete group name I am not understanding what you want? the first column is the group name the second is the group id.

Now if you want is shown all the time like from a ls command then:
1. check if the max_logname is big enough

Code:

    lsattr -El sys0 -a max_logname
    getconf LOGIN_NAME_MAX

2. if it is not big enough set it (up to 256 max):

Code:

chdev -l sys0 -a max_logname=20 <what you need>

3. now for this to be effective you will have to reboot.
4. once rebooted the all that is needed is a ls -lX (ls -(L) lower case and a uppercase X

Just to add if you want a output format with columns of consistent size then typeset is what you will need and the -R or -L (flush left or right) and the number of characters to show or fill: typeset -R20 Your_Var_Name
then when a value is assigned it will flush (L or R) and fill as needed and then you just display it.

I do not have an AIX host handy at the moment, but see if this works:

Code:

ls -n | 
awk -F: 'BEGIN{
           while("lsuser -c -a id ALL"  | getline) U[$2]=$1
           while("lsgroup -c -a id ALL" | getline) G[$2]=$1
         }
         { sub($3" "$4, U[$3]" "G[$4])} 1' FS=" "

I used the commands that aix-guy provided...

Hi Scrutinizer,

I couldn't run the script which you gave. It is incomplete I believe. And can you please test that for me and let me know about that?

Appreciate!!

Mike

Try this:

Code:

ls -n |
awk -F: 'BEGIN{
           while("lsuser -c -a id ALL"  | getline) U[$2]=$1
           while("lsgroup -c -a id ALL" | getline) G[$2]=$1
         }
         { sub($3" +"$4, U[$3]" "G[$4])} 1' FS=" "

I tested it on AIX 5.3
