If you would like that numeric groupid to resolve to some alphanumeric group name, the right way to do that is to use the NSS: http://www.hcoop.net/~megacz/software/libnss-afs.html > If someone can provide code to determine efficiently whether a > nameless GID is a PAG then we can probably make everyone happy. The code you are looking for appears in libnss-afs, but it is based on assumptions that are only valid on a system known to be running the OpenAFS client. In other words, unless coreutils somehow detects the presence of the OpenAFS client (pioctls?), it probably shouldn't be trying to guess at what is or isn't a PAG GID the way libnss-afs does. - a _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
