I'd like to keep my /etc/group file as clean as possible. I have about 60 users that need to be part of 3 different groups. Is there a way to add all these users to a group without needing to keep all 60 names on one line? I've found that this method works: group1:*:500:user1,user2,user3 group1:*:500:user4,user5,user6 However, If I create multiple instances of a group (as shown above) everything works great, but when the periodic script runs (cron), it preens the group file and only leaves the last occurrence of each group instantiation. Is there any way to specify only 5 or 6 users per line? It would definitely help me in the future when I need to add or remove a user. Thanks in advance for help everyone! -David Fuchs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
