For the full scoop, try man group. The simple version, though, will probably be sufficient: /etc/group is the file where groups are defined. Each line is of the form groupname:password:groupID:users Group passwords are very rarely used and can be ignored by placing an x in that position. Group IDs should be unique. So, to create a group named 'stooges', all you need to do is add stooges:x:5000:larry,moe,curly -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
