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

大 纲

gpasswd [ option ] group

描 述

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.

请 注 意 组 密 码

Group passwords are an inherent security problem since more than one person is permitted to know the password. However, groups are a useful tool for permitting co-operation between different users.

选 项

Except for the -A and -M options, the options cannot be combined.

The options which apply to the gpasswd command are:

-a , --add user

Add the user to the named group .

-d , --delete user

Remove the user from the named group .

-h , --help

-Q , --root CHROOT_DIR

-R , --restrict
