To get total number of users and their groups in remote UNIX machine
Hi All

I am trying to do ssh to different server and on the remote server for each user trying to get groups of that user but i am not getting the required
result.

Code:
ssh username@ip_address  "for i in $( cat /etc/passwd| cut -d: -f1);do groups $i done;exit" >>abc.txt

only names are getting shown but not there groupnames..

Please help me in this.

Try using single quotes rather than double quotes..

I think you're missing a ; before done.

Thanks a lot it worked.

But now i want to fetch the last few lines of /etc/sudoers file in this at the end for the same remote server.

How can i get that in the same server. i am trying to use from the below command
Code:
ssh user@ip 'for i in $(cat /etc/passwd|cut -d: -f1); do groups $i; done;tail -20 /etc/sudoers' >> abc.txt


ALso one more problem is that /etc/sudoers can only be viewed by root for which i only have the sudo access. Any way i can achieve that.
