Also, the easier way to confirm a primary group is to simply do "id myuser" instead of your approach. Hope this helps! Hi Sandeep,

The getent command will work on most Unix-like systems, and it definitely works in Solaris.

Also, the easier way to confirm a primary group is to simply do "id myuser" instead of your approach.

Hope this helps!

To find the primary group on a Solaris box I always do "su - myuser" and then "id", is there a smarter way? "getent group mygroup" works only with Linux right?
