Group definitions

[Vincent]

I need to find the details of each group found in AIX systems. This
include file ownership, task that could be done, list of commands able
to execute, etc. I was unable to find a detailed list, all I get is
just some short description. Eg,
System Group - For most configuration and standard hardware/software
maintenance
Staff Group - Default group assigned to all new users.

I need more info that this... pls help... thanx

Do you know how to write shell scripts?

You'll need 'grep', 'find', 'awk', 'echo', 'cut' and perhaps 'sed' and
some knowledge about shell variables and loops and passing parameter to
functions.

Attention: running 'find' can produce really(!!!) lots of I/O, so think
about what you're looking for before.

Redirect stdout to a logfile. Even a 10+ years old RS6K will produce
output faster than you can read it.

The way you asked hints me to recommend you making a mksysb BEFORE
running a self-written script as 'root'.

I also suggest you familiarise yourself with AIX/Unix and ask why you
really need to find out this information.
