NAME

       groupdel - Delete a group

SYNOPSIS

       groupdel group

DESCRIPTION

       The groupdel command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to group.  The named group must exist.

       You must manually check all filesystems to insure that no files remain with the named group as the file group ID.

CAVEATS

       You may not remove the primary group of any existing user.  You must remove the user before you remove the group.

FILES

       /etc/group - group information
       /etc/gshadow - secure group information
