GROUP(5) File Formats Manual GROUP(5)NAME
group - group file
DESCRIPTION
Group contains for each group the following information:
group name
encrypted password
numerical group ID
a comma separated list of all users allowed in the group
This is an ASCII file. The fields are separated by colons; Each group is separated from the next by a new-line. If the password field is
null, no password is demanded.
This file resides in directory /etc. Because of the encrypted passwords, it can and does have general read permission and can be used, for
example, to map numerical group ID's to names.
