Hey all,
I have a problem here that I don't really know how to go about.
Basically I want to be able to find a user in the /etc/passwd with only
a GID of 45 and a username of what I type the user name to be.
test5:x:503:503::/home/tunnel:/bin/bash
test:x:504:45:Test Account:/home/test:/bin/false
test4:x:506:505:test Account:/home/test4:/bin/false
test2:x:507:45:Test Account:/home/test2:/bin/false
daniel:x:508:45:Daniel Merritt:/home/daniel:/bin/false
As we all know the Unix /etc/passwd file looks like the above...
Now with the following I want to be able to only find the user name that
has a GID of 45 and make sure the username exists in /etc/passd in the
first place.
