КОРОТКИЙ ОГЛЯД
groupadd [OPTIONS] NEWGROUP
ОПИС
The groupadd command creates a new group account using the values specified on the command line plus the
default values from the system. The new group will be entered into the system files as needed.
Groupnames may contain only lower and upper case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes. They can end
with a dollar sign. Dashes are not allowed at the beginning of the groupname. Fully numeric groupnames
and groupnames . or .. are also disallowed.
On Debian, the only constraints are that groupnames must neither start with a dash ('-') nor plus ('+')
nor tilde ('~') nor contain a colon (':'), a comma (','), or a whitespace (space:' ', end of line: '\n',
tabulation: '\t', etc.).
On Ubuntu, the same constraints as Debian are in place, with the additional constraint that the groupname
cannot be fully numeric. This includes octal and hexadecimal syntax.
Довжина назв груп не може перевищувати 32 символи.
ПАРАМЕТРИ
The options which apply to the groupadd command are:
-f, --force
This option causes the command to simply exit with success status if the specified group already
exists. When used with -g, and the specified GID already exists, another (unique) GID is chosen (i.e.
-g is turned off).
-g, --gid GID
The numerical value of the group's ID. GID must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value
must be non-negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than or equal to GID_MIN
and greater than every other group.
See also the -r option and the GID_MAX description.
-h, --help
Показати довідкове повідомлення і завершити роботу.
-K, --key KEY=VALUE
Overrides /etc/login.defs defaults (GID_MIN, GID_MAX and others). Multiple -K options can be
specified.
Example: -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499
Note: -K GID_MIN=10,GID_MAX=499 doesn't work yet.
-o, --non-unique
permits the creation of a group with an already used numerical ID. As a result, for this GID, the
mapping towards group NEWGROUP may not be unique.
-p, --password PASSWORD
defines an initial password for the group account. PASSWORD is expected to be encrypted, as returned
by crypt (3).
Without this option, the group account will be locked and with no password defined, i.e. a single
exclamation mark in the respective field of ths system account file /etc/group or /etc/gshadow.
Note: This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will be visible by
users listing the processes.
Вам слід переконатися, що пароль відповідає правилам складання паролів системи.
-r, --system
Створити загальносистемну групу.
The numeric identifiers of new system groups are chosen in the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range, defined
in login.defs, instead of GID_MIN-GID_MAX.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR
directory. Only absolute paths are supported.
-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
Apply changes to configuration files under the root filesystem found under the directory PREFIX_DIR.
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
Список імен користувачів, яких слід додати як учасників групи.
The default behavior (if the -g, -N, and -U options are not specified) is defined by the
USERGROUPS_ENAB variable in /etc/login.defs.
НАЛАШТУВАННЯ
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
ФАЙЛИ
/etc/group
Відомості щодо груп облікових записів.
/etc/gshadow
Відомості щодо захищених груп облікових записів.
/etc/login.defs
Налаштування комплексу для роботи з прихованими паролями.
ЗАСТЕРЕЖЕННЯ
Не можна додавати групи NIS або LDAP. Для таких груп цю дію має бути виконано на відповідному сервері.
If the groupname already exists in an external group database such as NIS or LDAP, groupadd will deny the
group creation request.

0

2
