groupmod

NAME

groupmod - ändert die Eigenschaften einer Gruppe auf dem System

BESCHREIBUNG

The groupmod command modifies the definition of the specified GROUP by modifying the appropriate entry in the group database.

OPTIONEN

The options which apply to the groupmod command are:

-a, --append GID

If group members are specified with -U, append them to the existing member list, rather than replacing it.

-g, --gid GID

The group ID of the given GROUP will be changed to GID.

The value of GID must be a non-negative decimal integer. This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used.

Benutzer, welche die Gruppe als Hauptgruppe verwenden, werden aktualisiert, um die Gruppe als Hauptgruppe zu behalten.

Any files that have the old group ID and must continue to belong to GROUP, must have their group ID changed manually.

No checks will be performed with regard to the GID_MIN, GID_MAX, SYS_GID_MIN, or SYS_GID_MAX from /etc/login.defs.

-h, --help

-n, --new-name NEW_GROUP

The name of the group will be changed from GROUP to NEW_GROUP name.

-o, --non-unique

When used with the -g option, allow to change the group GID to a non-unique value.

-p, --password PASSWORD

The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3).

Note: This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will be visible by users listing the processes.

Sie sollten sicherstellen, dass das Passwort den Passwortrichtlinien des Systems entspricht.

-R, --root CHROOT_DIR

Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. Only absolute paths are supported.

-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR

Apply changes in the PREFIX_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the PREFIX_DIR directory. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a cross-compilation target. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified. PAM authentication is using the host files. No SELINUX support.

-U, --users

A list of usernames to add as members of the group.

The default behavior (if the -g, -N, and -U options are not specified) is defined by the USERGROUPS_ENAB variable in /etc/login.defs.
