Getent group <group> returns different order of members on different servers

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We noticed that "getent group " returns a different order of members on different servers
  • Can we enforce how memberlists are returned?
  • Example run:

    $ getent group group1  # server 1
    group1:*:1333:user1,user2,user3
    $ getent group group1  # server 2
    group1:*:1333:user3,user1,user2
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
