user administration
hi '

i am creating a primary group and a secondary group for a user.

#groupadd -g 101 test
#groupadd -g 102 test1

#useradd -d /export/home/user1 -m -s /bin/ksh -g test -G test user1

in /etc/passwd i can find the username as user1 and group name as test
and where can i find the secondary group details...

To see a list of groups that a user belongs to, try the following:
Code:
bash-3.00# groups agray
sysadmin dba etc

I believe that the primary group is listed first - but don't quote me on that Smilie

You can also check for information on a list of users:
Code:
bash-3.00# groups agray otheruser otherotheruser
agray: sysadmin dba etc
otheruser: dba
otherotheruser: etc etc3 blah

or from a list of users in a file
Code:
bash-3.00# for user in `cat list`; do echo "$user: `groups $user`"; done
agray: sysadmin dba etc
otheruser: dba
otherotheruser: etc etc3 blah
