NAME

       ftpgroups - FTP Server enhanced group access file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups

       The ftpgroups file contains the enhanced group access information.

       After  login, if the ftpaccess(4) file includes private yes, the user may use the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands to specify an enhanced
       access group and a password for that group. If the access group name and password are valid, the FTP Server executes setegid(2) to make the
       user a member of the real group listed in the ftpgroups file.

       The format for the ftpgroups file is:

       accessgroup:encrypted_password:real_group_name

       The fields are defined as follows:

       accessgroup	       An arbitrary string of alphanumeric and punctuation characters.

       encrypted_password      The group password encrypted exactly like in /etc/shadow.

       real_group_name	       The name of a valid group returned by getgrnam(3C).

       The  privatepw  utility is an administrative tool to add, delete and list enhanced access group information in the ftpgroups file. See pri-
       vatepw(1M). Lines that begin with a # sign are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
