I am working on a shell script for account creation on a Tiger Server
v10.4.4. I am noticing something that strikes me as odd, but may be
normal.
If I look at an account in NetInfo Manager, the gid for the account
is 20. This account has also been assigned a 2nd gid, but it is not
displayed in NetInfo Manager. If I look at this same account in
Workgroup Manager, in the Groups tab on the right-hand side of the
window, the 2nd gid is listed, but the gid from the same account in
NetInfo Manager (20) is not.
Why would each program only show one (1) of two (2) gids assigned to
an account?
Is it the case that when you're looking at NetInfo, you're just
looking at the user record, and thus pulling out the primary gid,
whereas when you're looking at Workgroup Manager, you're also seeing
any group records that have that user as a member?
The primary gid from NetInfo should appear in the Primary Group ID at
the top of the user record in Workgroup Manager when looking at the
Groups tab.
