Hi,

I have trouble using mkgrp -d : .  As expected, I am trying to fix the 
passwd and groups files.

I was succesfull using mkpasswd -d -u Mirko >> /etc/passwd

However, I was less succesfull with mkgrp -d -g.  I am not sure what to 
supply to the -g switch.

I would rather not do just mkgrp -d, since the number of groups on the 
domain seems enormeous.

I did get around the problem by copying the relevant entries for myself 
from the passwd file (ID, default group) and creating a group in the 
groups file, but I would like to learn how to do it the ``right way''

Thanks,

Mirko
