NOM¶
groupdel - Supprimer un groupe
SYNOPSIS¶
groupdel [options] GROUP
DESCRIPTION¶
The groupdel command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to GROUP. The named group must exist.
OPTIONS¶
The options which apply to the groupdel command are:
-f, --force
-h, --help
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
AVERTISSEMENTS¶
Vous ne pouvez pas supprimer le groupe primaire d'un utilisateur existant. Vous devez supprimer l'utilisateur auparavant.
Vous devriez vérifier vous-même qu'aucun fichier possédé par le groupe ne subsiste sur tous les systèmes de fichiers.
CONFIGURATION¶
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group.
This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters.
If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.
Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite). You should not use this variable unless you really need it.
FICHIERS¶
/etc/group
/etc/gshadow
VALEURS DE RETOUR¶
The groupdel command exits with the following values:
0
2
6
8
10
