Package: debian-handbook Version: 8.20151209~deb8u Handbook has the following text: The addgroup and delgroup commands add or delete a group, respectively. The groupmod command modifies a group's information (its gid or identifier). The command passwd -g group changes the password for the group, while the passwd -r -g group command deletes it.
It talks about the commmand "passwd -g groupname" to change the password for a group. There's no -g option in the passwd command. From googling and reading the man page, I found it's actually "gpasswd" by itself to put in a passwd for a group name. I would make the reader aware that it's not a good idea to put in a password for a group as per the man page for gpasswd. This is my first time submitting a bug and couldn't do it through reportbug. thanks Sean
