NAME
      nischgrp - change the group owner of a NIS+ object
 


SYNOPSIS
      nischgrp [ -AfLP ]  group  name ...
 


DESCRIPTION
      nischgrp changes the group owner  of  the  NIS+  objects  or
      entries  specified  by  name  to  the  specified NIS+ group.
      Entries are specified using indexed names (see nismatch(1)).
      If  group is not a fully qualified  NIS+ group name, it will
      be resolved using the  directory  search  path  (see  nisde-
      faults(1)).
 
      The only restriction on changing an object's group owner  is
      that  have modify permissions for the object.
 
      This command will fail if the master NIS+ server is not run-
      ning.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -A    Modify all entries in all tables in the  concatenation
            path  that  match  the  search  criterion specified in
            name. This option implies the -P switch.
 
      -f    Force the operation and fail silently if it  does  not
            succeed.
 
      -L    Follow links and change the group owner of the  linked
            object  or  entries rather than the group owner of the
            link itself.
 
      -P    Follow the concatenation path within  a  named  table.
            This  option  only  makes sense when either name is an
            indexed name or the -L switch is  also  specified  and
            the named object is a link pointing to entries.
 
 EXAMPLES
      Example 1: Examples of the nischgrp command.
 
      The following two examples show  how  to  change  the  group
      owner of an object to a group in a different domain, and how
      to change it to a group in the local domain, respectively.
 
      example% nischgrp  newgroup.remote.domain.  object
      example% nischgrp  my-buds  object
 
      This example shows how to change the group owner for a pass-
      word entry.

 User Commands                                         nischgrp(1)
 
 
 
      example% nischgrp  admins  '[uid=99],passwd.org_dir'
 
      In the previous example, admins is a NIS+ group in the  same
      domain.
 
      The next two examples change the group owner of  the  object
      or  entries pointed to by a link, and the group owner of all
      entries in the hobbies table.
 
      example% nischgrp  -L  my-buds  linkname
      example% nischgrp  my-buds  '[],hobbies'
 
 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
      NIS_PATH
            If this variable is set, and  the  NIS+  name  is  not
            fully  qualified,  each  directory  specified  will be
            searched  until  the  object  is  found  (see   nisde-
            faults(1)).
 
 EXIT STATUS
      The following exit values are returned:
 
      0     Successful operation.
 
      1     Operation failed.
