Hi
I want to change the following
passwd: files nis
group: files nis
in /etc/nsswitch.conf
to be
passwd: files compat
group: files compat
I tried
cp -p nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.old
sed -e 's:passwd\: files nis:passwd\: files compat:g' -e 's:group\: files nis:group\: files compat:g' nsswitch.conf.old > nsswitch.conf
It only changes passwd not group:
passwd: files compat
group: files nis
could you please advise?
thank you
sed 's/nis/compat/' filename
hi
but there are other occurences of 'nis' string while I want to change only 2 occurences.
thx
I tried this
cp -p nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.old
sed -e '/<passwd>/!s/passwd\(.\)/passwd\: files compat/' \
-e '/<shadow>/!s/shadow\(.\)/shadow\: files compat/' \
-e '/<group>/!s/group\(.*\)/group\: files compat/' \
nsswitch.conf
but this changes also
netgroup: files nis
to
netgroup: files compat
