groupmod(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       groupmod(8)

NAME

       groupmod - modify a group entry

SYNOPSIS

       groupmod [-D binddn] [-P path] [-g gid [-o]] [-p password]
	       [-A user] [-R user] [--service service] [--help] [-v]
	       [--usage] group

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       -p, --password password

	      tion.

       -P, --path path
	      The group file is located below the specified directory path.  groupmod will use this file, not /etc/group.

       --service service
	      Modify the group from a special directory. The default is files, but ldap is also valid.
