GSHADOW(5)              File Formats and Configuration              GSHADOW(5)

NAVN
       gshadow - shadowed group file

BESKRIVELSE
       /etc/gshadow contains the shadowed information for group accounts.

       This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is
       to be maintained.

       Each line of this file contains the following colon-separated fields:

       group name
           Det skal vaere et gyldigt gruppenavn, som findes pa systemet.

       encrypted password
           Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted.

           If the password field contains some string that is not a valid
           result of crypt(3), for instance ! or *, users will not be able to
           use a unix password to access the group (but group members do not
           need the password).

           The password is used when a user who is not a member of the group
           wants to gain the permissions of this group (see newgrp(1)).

           This field may be empty, in which case only the group members can
           gain the group permissions.

           A password field which starts with an exclamation mark means that
           the password is locked. The remaining characters on the line
           represent the password field before the password was locked.

           This password supersedes any password specified in /etc/group.

       administrators
           Det skal vaere en kommaadskilt liste af brugernavne.

           Administratorer kan aendre adgangskoden eller medlemmerne af
           gruppen.

           Administratorer har ogsa de samme rettigheder som medlemmerne (se
           nedenfor).

       members
           Det skal vaere en kommaadskilt liste af brugernavne.

           Medlemmer kan tilga gruppen uden at blive spurgt efter en
           adgangskode.

           You should use the same list of users as in /etc/group.

FILER
       /etc/group
           Information om gruppekonto.

           Information om sikret gruppekonto.
