Re^2: Fetching groups a user is in

I saved the code as gpu.pl and ran it for some users:

$ gpu.pl root
0
2
3
4
5
20
31
0

$ gpu.pl rvtol

$ id -Gn rvtol
user
[download]

With root, group 0 is reported twice. With rvtol, group user (30) isn't reported.

Interesting. Any idea why?

print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);

It's on a (FreeBSD) shell at my ISP, that runs in a (modified) yp (nis). So "shadow password maps". See ypserv(8).

Ah . . . nonstandard setup makes me feel better about it not working properly.
