I am having trouble with the /etc/group file on my DN4500 running SR10.3.
There are no other Apollos on my network, I have added a new group using
edrgy and all seems OK.  However, the /etc/group file has become empty.

The edrgy documentation states that the /etc/group file will be updated
'periodically'.

Is it possible to force the re-creation of /etc/group ?

How long is 'periodically' ?
