NAME
gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow
ÜBERSICHT
|
gpasswd [option] group |
BESCHREIBUNG
The gpasswd command is used to administer /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow. Every group can have administrators, members and a password.
System administrators can use the -A option to define group administrator(s) and the -M option to define members. They have all rights of group administrators and members.
gpasswd called by a group administrator with a group name only prompts for the new password of the group.
If a password is set the members can still use newgrp(1) without a password, and non-members must supply the password.
Hinweise zu
Gruppenpasswörtern
Gruppenpasswörter bergen ein Sicherheitsrisiko, da
mehrere Personen das Passwort kennen. Dennoch sind Gruppen
ein nützliches Mittel für die Zusammenarbeit
zwischen Benutzern.
