GROUP(5)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  GROUP(5)



NAME
       group - user group file

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.

FILES
       /etc/group

SEE ALSO
       login(1), newgrp(1), passwd(5)
