How to add a user to a NIS+ group



I'm trying to add a user to a nis+ user group. There are already 20
users in this group. Is there an easy way to do it?

I tried typing every
user who is already in the group in again.

nistbladm -e members=user1,user2,user3,user4,user5,user6
'[name=hydrogeo]'group.org_dir

When I tried the above the line had to many characters and the terminal
started beeping. I tried the command with a \ at the end of each line
for line continuation but it returns an error

can't parse column values: Missing or malformed attribute.

I can't use the solstice adminsuite gui because some of the usernames
are more than 8 characters in length and I get an error to fix those entries
when I try to add another user.

Is there a way to add a users to a nis+ group using nistbladm or some
other command and just specify the actual user I want to add to the
group and not
everyone who is already in the group?

Thank You.
