memory.) Take particular care when creating user
records for root as such records will move essential
system processes, such as inetd.
•+netgroup_name
netgroup_name must correspond to a list of login
names in /etc/netgroup. When a configuration is
loaded, any user in netgroup_name who does not
have an explicit user record assumes the
INITIALGROUP and any ALTERNATEGROUPs of this
record.
If a user who does not have an explicit user record
is in multiple netgroups, each with its own user
record, the INITIALGROUP of the first matching
record (based on an ASCII dictionary sort) becomes
the user’s initial PRM group. All other groups
become alternate groups.
If a user has an explicit user record and is in one or
more netgroups that have user records, the explicit
record takes precedence.
PRM ignores any line in /etc/netgroup that has an
empty user field.
NOTE PRM only checks netgroup definitions when a
configuration is loaded. If you change your
netgroup definitions, reload your configuration so
PRM is aware of the new definitions.
For an example of how netgroups affect PRM group
assignments, see “Displaying netgroup expansions”
on page 176.
INITIALGROUP
Is the name of the initial PRM group for the user or
netgroup. This is the group the login program chooses
when launching the user’s login shell. Also, it is the
group that cron chooses when scheduling jobs for the
user.
