Solaris

I am a member of a few different user groups.

I would like to see what the difference is....

Can anyone tell me how to look at permissions side by side ?


We are using :
SunOS xxxxxx 5.10 Generic_127111-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

Thanks !

Difference between what ?

Hi all,

Just putting any question for fun or if it suddenly comes in mind is not so good. It reduces the effectiveness of this so wonderful forum. We should try to make sure that we are following the thread after posting any query.

Thanks,

What makes you think a question was posted there just for fun ?
My understanding is the OP question is unclear and should be rephrased/elaborated to get an appropriate answer.

Open up different login sessions via ssh using the different role/profile.
Then you can run whichever commands on the different windows concurently and check whatever you want to see

I access multiple solaris servers.
I am a member of various groups across those multiple servers.
I am told, I should have particular group memberships, but, are your ready for this one, no one knows why.

So for instance, if the output of the command "groups Popeye" returns

house boat car

what does being a member of any or all give me that any or all of the rest do not, by way of permission. What does the group allow me to do, see, execute ? .. and how does/do each compare to others.

does house only provide certain permission, the answer I would imagine is yes ... but what are they and how do (or do they not) differ from boat and car ?

I cant look into /etc/group to try and get some info on each group.
I cant run chdgrp (not even sure if that is a supported command any longer)

... and I have been in networking for almost 30 years .. did some mini unix admin ... but not true unix admin .. I never joke. If I did choose to do so, It would be very clear that my statements are joking around.

Regret if my saying hurts anyone. I just wanted to say that the posting should always be followed up by the owner so that the problem ends with a solution and other users get a remedy for their upcoming problem.

Thanks,
Deepak
