Hi All,

Stephens’ very first question below has led me to figure out what the problem 
is … we have one group in /etc/group that has dozens and dozens of members … 
any group above that in /etc/group gets printed as a name by mmrepquota; any 
group below it gets printed as a GID.

Wasn’t there an identical bug in mmlsquota a while back?

I will update the PMR I have open with IBM.  Thanks to all who took the time to 
respond with suggestions.

Kevin

My list of questions that might or might not be thought provoking:

How about the relative position of the items in the /etc/group file?

Are all of the failures later in the file than all of the successes?

Do any groups have group passwords (parsing error due to “different" line 
format)?

Is the /etc/group sorted by either GID or group name (not normally required, 
but it would be interesting to see if it changed the problem)?

Is the set that is translated versus not translated consistent or do they 
change? (Across all axes of comparison by {node, command invocation, et al.})

Are the not translated groups more or less likely to be the default group of 
the owning UID?

Can you translate the GID other ways? Like with ls? (I think this was in the 
original problem description, but I don’t remember the answer.)

What is you just turn of nscd?

Hi Phil,

Nope - that was the very first thought I had but on a 4.2.2.1 node I have a 13 
character group name displaying and a resolvable 7 character long group name 
being displayed as its’ GID…

Hi All,

Let me try to answer some questions that have been raised by various list 
members…

1.  I am not using nscd.
2.  getent group with either a GID or a group name resolves GID’s / names that 
are being printed as GIDs by mmrepquota
3.  The GID’s in question are all in a normal range … i.e. some group names 
that are being printed by mmrepquota have GIDs “close” to others that are being 
printed as GID’s
4.  strace’ing mmrepquota doesn’t show anything relating to nscd or anything 
that jumps out at me


Anything unique about the lengths of the names of the affected groups? (i.e., 
all a certain value, all greater than some value, etc.)
