NOME

gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow

SINOSSI

gpasswd [ option ] group

DESCRIZIONE

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.

Note sulle password di gruppo

Le password di gruppo rappresentano un intrinseco problema di sicurezza perché più di una persona deve conoscerle. Ciononostante i gruppi sono uno strumento molto utile per la cooperazione tra vari utenti.
