here's a workaround to append without the append keyword

#script to be used to modify an existing group (ie: append to, instead
of replace).   below
#!/bin/sh

client=$1
newgroup=$2

GROUP() {
nsradmin -i - <<EOF
show group
p type:nsr client;name:$client
EOF
}
oldgroup=`GROUP |cut -f 2 -d ":"| cut -d ";" -f 1`

NEWGROUP() {
nsradmin -i - <<EOF
show group
p type:nsr client;name:$client
update group: $oldgroup,$newgroup
EOF
}
NEWGROUP

I've tried on 7.3.3 under AIX 5.2.

It does not work :-(

nsradmin> append group:GRP-NETWORKER
unknown command: append

Maybe a new feature from the 7.4 ?

I will take a look at the manual...
