Greetings,
SPARC box running Solaris 10.
bash-3.2# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC
Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 16 September 2009
Solaris 10 8/11 (Update 10) Patchset applied.
`usermod -G` complains about the group name being too long:
bash-3.2# usermod -G abcd,abcdefgh1034,abcdef103 user852
UX: usermod: user852 is currently logged in, some changes may not take
effect until next login.
UX: usermod: abcdefgh1034 name too long.
UX: usermod: abcdef103 name too long.
(I guess, because the group name is longer than 8 characters), but adds
the user to the additional groups:
bash-3.2# cat /etc/group | grep user852
abcd::100:user852
abcdefgh1034::102:user852
abcdef103::103:user852
However, If I add the user to the first secondary group, like `usermod
-G abcd user852` then latter I add the same user to the second secondary
group, like `usermod -G abcdefgh1034 user852`, `usermod` removes the
user from the first secondary group.
Any explanation for this (miss)behavior, or I am doing something wrong.
Regards,
Ioan
