Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Colin Hudler <>]

Thanks for asking. It is a nice piece of the puzzle. It finds a lot of 
"bad" memberships in some composite groups, but nothing is output for 
this group.

The findbad utility is something else I've been puzzling over for a 
while; it often reports the same bad groups even when they have been 
freshly recreated and *nothing else* in the registry has changed. It 
does not consistently identify the same groups as bad between runs, 
although they are always large composite. A couple of times it output 
entirely different "bad" groups. However, mostly it identifies the same 
list, but they seem unfixable.

On one occasion, I suspect that the delComposite/addComposite GSH script 
utterly destroyed the membership for the group referenced below, which I 
am now attempting to repair. I know that there's more to the story, 
since that wouldn't be possible in theory. However, I verified that none 
of our automations modified the group, and the audit log claims the 
membership was not changed (although it is empty, down from about 18k).
