Hi I have been searching for commands to "debug" netgroup membership. I am using netgroups provided by ldap. I can do a ldap query but it seems a bit unwieldy to do. I have found a package on ubuntu called ng-utils https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ng-utils/0.7-1 which does what I require and compiles very easily. It contains two commands netgroup and innetgr to query netgroup membership with. Two questions: * Is there a similar package with similar commands to query netgroup membership available for Centos? I have not been able to find such a package yet. * If there is no similar commands or packages available would it generally be usefull enough to repackage in rpm for Centos/Redhat/Fedora?

I guess you can write a wrapper script for it... Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis
