Hello,

I need to reorganize group names and gid in a server.

If possible could you send me the command line or korn shell to change
to a new group id number and new group name for all the files of a given
old group name or old gid in all the file systems.

Off course, new group name and new gid have already being defined in
/etc/group and also user have being updated to new gid in /etc/passwd.

Thank you very much,

Mario Desiderio

It seems the easiest way to do it is to use 'find'.
Try a command like this (as root):

find / -group <old group name> -print | xargs chgrp <new group name>

The previous command assumes the old group name to be '/etc/group', if
it's not, replace '<old group name>' with '<old gid>'.
