I'd suggest some kind of bait to attract them, like pizza or beer. Once they leave the confines of the server, lure them away from the server room.

Are you asking you to find all the users that are members in the mqm group on a UNIX server? |

How about using the OS facilities to query group membership?

If "using the OS facilities to query group membership" means to do that programmatically, then I would agree. I personally have not found a way to do that through just using UNIX commands, if some of the user information is only stored in LDAP (and not locally in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files).
This is the C program that I use to find all the members in a group. It seems to work well for Linux and Solaris.
| Code: |
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <grp.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
struct group *gr;
struct passwd *pw;
/* 1 argument is required for trace input file */
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("grpusers requires 1 argument for group name\n");
exit(-1);
}
if (!(gr = getgrnam(argv[1])))
{
endgrent( );
printf("group name %s was not found in database\n", argv[1]);
exit(-1);
}
printf("group member names for %s\n", argv[1]);
for (i = 0; gr->gr_mem[i]; i++)
puts(gr->gr_mem[i]);
endgrent( );
printf("users with primary group of %s\n", argv[1]);
pw = getpwent();
for (; pw; pw = getpwent()) {
if ( pw->pw_gid == gr->gr_gid )
puts(pw->pw_name);
}
endpwent();
exit(0);
}

Maybe this is too simple but I prefer:
| Code: |
| cat /etc/group | grep <group_name> |

That would miss users in mqm, if they are stored remotely in the LDAP server. At least, that has been my experience. |
