groupadd [OPTIONS] NEWGROUP

ОПИС

The groupadd command creates a new group account using the values specified on the command line plus the default values from the system. The new group will be entered into the system files as needed.

Groupnames may contain only lower and upper case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes. They can end with a dollar sign. Dashes are not allowed at the beginning of the groupname. Fully numeric groupnames and groupnames . or .. are also disallowed.

Довжина назв груп не може перевищувати 32 символи.

ПАРАМЕТРИ

The options which apply to the groupadd command are:

-f, --force

This option causes the command to simply exit with success status if the specified group already exists. When used with -g, and the specified GID already exists, another (unique) GID is chosen (i.e. -g is turned off).

-g, --gid GID

The numerical value of the group's ID. GID must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than or equal to GID_MIN and greater than every other group.

See also the -r option and the GID_MAX description.

-h, --help

Показати довідкове повідомлення і завершити роботу.

-K, --key KEY=VALUE

Overrides /etc/login.defs defaults (GID_MIN, GID_MAX and others). Multiple -K options can be specified.

Example: -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499

Note: -K GID_MIN=10,GID_MAX=499 doesn't work yet.

-o, --non-unique

permits the creation of a group with an already used numerical ID. As a result, for this GID, the mapping towards group NEWGROUP may not be unique.

-p, --password PASSWORD

defines an initial password for the group account. PASSWORD is expected to be encrypted, as returned by crypt (3).

Without this option, the group account will be locked and with no password defined, i.e. a single exclamation mark in the respective field of ths system account file /etc/group or /etc/gshadow.

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

Вам слід переконатися, що пароль відповідає правилам складання паролів системи.

-r, --system

Створити загальносистемну групу.

The numeric identifiers of new system groups are chosen in the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range, defined in login.defs, instead of GID_MIN-GID_MAX.

-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 to configuration files under the root filesystem found under the directory PREFIX_DIR. 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

Список імен користувачів, яких слід додати як учасників групи.

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

НАЛАШТУВАННЯ

The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:

ФАЙЛИ

/etc/group

Відомості щодо груп облікових записів.

/etc/gshadow

Відомості щодо захищених груп облікових записів.

/etc/login.defs

ЗАСТЕРЕЖЕННЯ

Не можна додавати групи NIS або LDAP. Для таких груп цю дію має бути виконано на відповідному сервері.

If the groupname already exists in an external group database such as NIS or LDAP, groupadd will deny the group creation request.
