If it is decided that the group command line switch should work, it look like we need a way of checking if a user is in a group before setting the group.
I started playing around with this. It doesn't look like the AOLserver C API has the right group functions. It looks like the grp.h file would need to be included. Here is an example of a procedure to access the members of a group, if the group isn't their main group, the main group can be checked with the passwd functions:
If we decide to do this, I can attempt to create the C API function and clean up the nsmain.c file.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <grp.h>
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char *grp;
struct group *webgroup;
char **members;
char *member;
int i = 0;
if ( (grp = argv[1]) != NULL ) {
webgroup = getgrnam(grp);
members = webgroup->gr_mem;
while( members[i] ) {
printf ("member %i: %s\n", i, members[i]);
i++;
}
} else {
printf("usage: %s groupname\n", argv[0]);
}
}
( Merry Christmas! )
