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



      NAME
           group - group file

      DESCRIPTION
           Group contains for each group the following information:

           group name
           encrypted password
           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 new-line.  If the password
           field is null, no password is demanded.

           This file resides in directory /etc.  Because of the encrypted pass-
           words, it can and does have general read permission and can be used,
           for example, to map numerical group ID's to names.

      FILES
           /etc/group

      BUGS
           The passwd(1) command won't change the passwords.
