GROUP(M)                 XENIX System V                  GROUP(M)



     Name
          group - Format of the group file.

     Description
          group contains the following information for each group:

          - Group name

          - Encrypted password (optional)

          - Numerical group ID

          - 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 password is demanded.

          This file resides in directory /etc.  Because of the
          encrypted passwords, it can and does have general read
          permission and can be used, for example, to map numerical
          group IDs to names.
