NAME

       groupmod - modify a group entry

SYNOPSIS

       groupmod [-D binddn] [-P path] [-g gid [-o]] [-p password]

       groupmod modifies a group entry using the values specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -g, --gid gid
	      Force  the new group ID to be the given number. This value must be positive and unique. The group of any file owned by the old group
	      must be changed manually.

       -o, --non-unique
	      Allow duplicate (non-unique) group IDs.

	      tion.
