GROUP(4)                 DOMAIN/IX SYS5                  GROUP(4)



NAME
     group - group file

DESCRIPTION
     The file /etc/group contains, for each group, the following
     information:

     ⊕  group name

     ⊕  numerical group ID

     ⊕  a comma-separated list of all users allowed in the group

     This is an ASCII file.  The fields are separated by colons;
     each group is separated from the next by a newline.  If the
     password field is null, no group password is demanded.

     This file resides in the /etc directory, and normally has
     general read permission.

NOTES
     On DOMAIN Systems, the group file is created from network
     registry information by the crpasswd(1M) program.
