I had a situation once where I could not use nsradmin to gather the 
information I needed - so I had this
skeleton of a script lying around.  Why not share it - as, most 
importantly, it provides a bit of insight
as to how networker stores its configuration.

I somehow had gotton into the situation where I had two default groups, 
and both the GUI and nsradmin
refused to delete them because the it is the "default" group.  I started 
poking around while waiting for
tech support to get back to me and found my two resources (in 
/nsr/res/nsrdb) belonging to the
group default.  I shut down networker, renamed one of the groups, 
restarted networker, then deleted
the renamed group.  I believe I probably could have simply deleted the 
resource file - but I though it
better to make as small a change as possible in case I missed something 
else.

One of the joys of unix is that there are numerous ways of accomplishing 
the same thing.  After all, what
do you think nsradmin is doing behind the scenes to query this 
information.
