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 usernames, separated by commas.

FILES
       /etc/group

BUGS
       As the 4.2BSD initgroups(3) man page says: No-one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
