I have a file definition:

FILE /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail GROUP:51 yellow Hi,

try it with: FILE /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail OWNER=root GROUPID=smmsp yellow

Regards, Alex

for our Linux servers.

However, it seems to not be working. On several hosts the file data looks like:

[file:/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail] type:100000 (file) mode:2755 (-rwxr-sr-x) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:25 (smmsp) size:806460 clock:1328201361 (2012/02/02-11:49:21) atime:1328201173 (2012/02/02-11:46:13) ctime:1316579762 (2011/09/21-00:36:02) mtime:1311839803 (2011/07/28-03:56:43)

Which I think should throw a warning.

At one point I tried GROUPID=51, but that didn't work either and failed even worse by complaining that the group owner should be "D=51", so it appears to just be looking for the keyword GROUP and then skipping the next character and using the remainder of the string for the id (numeric or symbolic). But, still, it isn't complaining about the group id being 25 when we want it to be 51.

Why doesn't it work as expected?

Thanks, Steve
