We are running FreeBSD 2.1.0. We are in the process of making many accounts. We are using a home brew make user script. All was well until we had about 126 accounts in a single group ID. Our question is......Is there a limit to the number of characters in a single line in the etc/group file?? We made another group ID # and it worked. However, we were wondering if there was a way to get all of these accounts in a single group? Also, for general knowledge, is there a command to count the number of characters in a line of standard input (Through piping, etc.) Finally, I was wondering if you could direct me in creating functions for sh scripts. What format is required for this? Thank you for your help. We are a school system, and we love your software. Where ever you go..........There you are.
