Hi.
For a project I'm working on, I wonder if the Bell Labs alumni present
can tell me what was the default group for files for the researchers?
That is, what group did ls -l show?
In particular, in the late 90s - ~ V10 time frame.
Much thanks,
Arnold

— coma
I happen to have a tar file from coma, one of the main V10 machines I used.
A sample file has
UID 115
GID 20
The tar file is dated April 29 1997
The UID was doubtless “ches”.
— research
I have another file from Oct 14, 1992, named ypsnarf.c,
UID=2009, GUD-2009
This file is probably from research (as in research!ches) and was a MIPS not running V10.
This was probably ches,ches and not helpful.
— bowell
bowell was the master source machine for V10. A file (proxy.c, Mar 3 1993) I had tarred
up from there has
UID: 1696
GID: 4

Thanks!
Any idea what the group names would have been?

The last I can probably answer. Early ls -l would only list the user name not the
group.

This I knew.
Yep; you had to say "ls -lg" to get the
group.
And this too. V7 ls is this way.
But I would have thought by the V10 timeframe that ls -l would also
have shown the group, and I was wondering what group (group name)
that would have been.
It's not that important.
Thanks to everyone who answered,
Arnold
