DESCRIPTION
/etc/group is an ASCII file which defines the groups to which users
belong. There is one entry per line, and each line has the format:
group_name:passwd:GID:user_list
The field descriptions are:
|
|
|
group_name
|
the name of the group.
|
|
password
|
the (encrypted) group password. If this field is
empty, no password is needed.
|
|
GID
|
the numerical group ID.
|
|
user_list
|
all the group member’s user names, separated by commas.
|
|
BUGS
As the 4.2BSD
initgroups(3)
man page says: No-one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
