Commands that access group names fails when NIS group is large
Last modified: 2016-11-24 10:24:14 EST
Description of problem: Commands accessing group names fails when the group name is a nis group spread over several entries (due to the number of members in group). Only the group id is returned from commands like groups or ls -la Example: ypcat group |grep :1300: hda:!:1300:a110915,a108743,a100141,u21081,a793918,<lotta more names> hda2:!:1300:a113014,a794279,a793203,a792412,a455915,<lotta more names> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sh-utils 2.0.12 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. groups a100141 Actual results: id: cannot find name for group ID 1300 id: cannot find name for group ID 3100 id: cannot find name for group ID 1668 id: cannot find name for group ID 102 id: cannot find name for group ID 2020 id: cannot find name for group ID 2800 Same happens when doing a ls -la (group name does not appear) -rw-rw---- 1 a100141 1300 91 Jan 23 14:54 group.txt Expected results (as on a RedHat 7.3 installation): a100141 : hda nho_tavd petro utfo dip ios ediv hdaunix irap recall lmadmin sd ut fit charisma -rw-rw---- 1 a100141 hda 91 Jan 23 14:54 group.txt Additional info: This works perfect on RedHat 7.3
I think this is fixed for future releases.
