名称

       groupmod - modify a group definition on the system

大纲

       groupmod [选项] GROUP

描述

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

选项

       The options which apply to the groupmod command are:

       -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.

           Users who use the group as primary group will be updated to keep the group as their
           primary group.

           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
           现实帮助信息并退出。

       -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.

           您应该确保密码符合系统的密码政策。

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the
           CHROOT_DIR directory.

       -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.
