Re: Searching for Group memberships of users

["Michael Fuller / Railnet" <fullerms@sr.railnet.gov.in>]

I am not using POSIX groups, only the groupOfNames object class for user
groups.  The situation here is that the user name is available; it is a
question of finding out the group membership of that user.

Thanks in advance for the help

Regards,
Michael Fuller
