NOM

       groupmod - Modifier la définition d'un groupe du système

SYNOPSIS

       groupmod [options] GROUPE

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the groupmod command are:

       -a, --append GID
           If group members are specified with -U, append them to the existing member list,
           rather than replacing it.

       -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.

           Les utilisateurs qui utilisent ce groupe comme groupe primaire seront mis à jour pour
           garder le groupe comme groupe primaire.

           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
           Afficher un message d'aide et quitter.

       -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.

           Il est nécessaire de vérifier si le mot de passe respecte la politique de mots de
           passe du système.

       -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.

       -U, --users
           A list of usernames to add as members of the group.

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

CONFIGURATION

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