Hi,

does anybody know a simple method to find all executables with a group
id which is not mentioned in /etc/group?

Once an executable with a group id which used to be 'fcron' but isn't
anymore, broke one of my systems.
Now, I suspect a similar problem on another machine.

Otherwise I have to write a tiny Python script to do that.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
