Hello Perl Mongers, I'm trying to compare two lists of users, but I would like input on what each of you think would be the best way to do it?
The first list is comprised of all users in a particular group, in the /etc/group format. The second list is very similar, but the format is slightly different. For example: First Group of Users, testgroup:x:UID:user0,user1,user2,user3 etc. Second Group of Users, members=user0,user1,user2 When a user is added to the first group I need to add them to the second group also, and likewise for deleting. What I thought about doing was loading each list into a hash, and checking to see if the keys are defined in the other groups hash, but I'm sure that there is a better way. So, if anyone knows what it is, I would appreciate the help. Thanks! Joshua Colson Systems Administrator Giant Industries, Inc. (480) 585-8714 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
