to be more precise here is the problem script :

[lapi]:/etc/periodic/daily# sh 200.backup-passwd

Backup passwd and group files:

Verifying group file syntax:
chkgrp: /etc/group: line 30: missing field(s)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Exit 3

so i found the problem in my group file there was a bugy line that i 
added ... i;m not sure if this is normal to coredump when the syntax in 
/etc/group is mistaken ???

the line was : "user:1001:" and it has to be "user:*:1001:"
