are you saying that I have to manually maintain a copy of the users in a
group? such as:
staff: brian, betty, colin, .....
or use an include file?
or a command to read the group file such as
`grep "staff::" /etc/group |cut -d ":" -f 4-`
None of these approaches are suitable. Sorry, forgot to say we store our
users in a LDAP server so can't use simple file lookups.
Has anyone done such a lookup is there a system call to find out all
users for a particular group?
