NAME

       group - user group file

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system.  There is one entry per line, with the following format:

	      group_name:password:GID:user_list

       The fields are as follows:

       group_name  the name of the group.

       password    the (encrypted) group password.  If this field is empty, no password is needed.

       GID	   the numeric group ID.

       user_list   a list of the usernames that are members of this group, 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.
