I am little puzzled with below outcome. I am logged in as root and created 2 new user. tecmint and tecmint2. New user became part of group that I cant find in /etc/group. How can I find out why this is happening and fix it. User added using below command.
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # useradd -G ldap tecmint2
The GID 55 is ldap but it shows as dba when I list user using id command
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # cat /etc/group | grep 100
users:x:100:
tecmint:x:1000:
tecmint2:x:1001:
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # cat /etc/group | grep 55
ldap:x:55:tecmint,tecmint2
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # id -a tecmint2
uid=1001(tecmint2) gid=1001(jbase5) groups=1001(jbase5),55(dba)
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # id -a tecmint
uid=1000(tecmint) gid=1000(tibco) groups=1000(tibco),55(dba)
Any clue on this would be really helpful :)
Thanks, Dwija.
Added a few more lines on searching group name from files under /etc
root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # grep -rnw '/etc' -e 'tecmint' /etc/group:63:ldap:x:55:tecmint,tecmint2 /etc/group:64:tecmint:x:1000: /etc/gshadow:63:ldap:!::tecmint,tecmint2 /etc/gshadow:64:tecmint:!:: /etc/passwd:38:tecmint:x:1000:1000::/home/tecmint:/bin/bash /etc/group-:63:ldap:x:55:tecmint /etc/group-:64:tecmint:x:1000: /etc/gshadow-:63:ldap:!::tecmint /etc/gshadow-:64:tecmint:!:: /etc/shadow:38:tecmint:$6$DsZ1ssCj$GjgFqqrliSo5u6jxwfY /etc/subgid:1:tecmint:100000:65536 /etc/passwd-:38:tecmint:x:1000:1000::/home/tecmint:/bin/bash /etc/subuid:1:tecmint:100000:65536 /etc/shadow-:38:tecmint:$6$DsZ1ssCj$GjgFqqrliSo5u6jxwfYiG /etc/subgid-:1:tecmint:100000:65536 /etc/subuid-:1:tecmint:100000:65536 root@uklvadsb0047[DEV][~] # grep -rnw '/etc' -e 'jbase5'

No result from any files under /etc/ by searching above group name.
