Problem with login script

[Anonymous_User]

I have a login script that tests for user membership and then takes action based on the user. However, one of my tests is returning true for all uses. Here is the line in question:

if member of ".GR_Diagnostic Group.GR.VRA" or ".GR_Review Group.GR.VRA" then

As I mentioned, the above should only return TRUE if the user is a member of either of the two groups, but it is returning TRUE for all users. I know this used to work. Client workstations all run Windows XP sp3 and Novell client 4.91 SP5 IR1.

Suggestions? Thanks, Chris.

Further testing indicates the "or" is not being processed properly.

That syntax is wrong. The second statement is missing the "if member
of". The "or" seperates two different statements, e.g "if member of
something.ou.o" and day of week="monday".

E.G You can't leave out the full syntax.

Looks like this syntax works properly:

if ((member of ".GR_Diagnostic Group.GR.VRA") or (member of ".GR_Review Group.GR.VRA"))

Hi,
the second expression after the "or" is not a comparison. It is true everytime.

Try:
if member of ".GR_Diagnostic Group.GR.VRA" or member of ".GR_Review Group.GR.VRA" then ...
