Create 1 group with 2 group IDs?

[Nabby]

Many moons ago, we had a system setup consisting of 7 servers. On 6 of the servers, there exists a group called dba with a gid of 10031, on the 7th server, the gid is 20031. I need to install a program which requires all gids to be the same. Is there a way to add the 10031 gid to the existing group on the 7th server, or will I just need to change it and write a script to change the group on the 19371 files owned by group dba on that server? Any ideas would be appreciated!!

Thanks!
Tom

Hi,
do something like:

cd /
find . -group dba -exec chgrp 100031 {} \;

Then change your group id to 100031.

I haven't been at a computer in four months so can't remember the exact options to find. Henrik Morsing
