NOME¶
gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow
SINOSSI¶
gpasswd [opzione] gruppo
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.
OPZIONI¶
Except for the -A and -M options, the options cannot be combined.
The options which apply to the gpasswd command are:
-a, --add user
-d, --delete user
-h, --help
-Q, --root CHROOT_DIR
-r, --remove-password
-R, --restrict
-A, --administrators user,...
-M, --members user,...
AVVISI/CAVEAT¶
