[[Category:Linux Shell Commands]] Techniques: Linux: groupmod

Manpage Text

Name

groupmod - Modify a group

Synopsis

groupmod [-g gid [-o]] [-n

group_name ] group

Description

The groupmod command modifies the system account files to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line. The options which apply to the groupmod command are

  • -g gid
    The numerical value of the group's ID. This value must be unique,

unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. Values between 0 and 99 are typically reserved for system groups. Any files which the old group ID is the file group ID must have the file group ID changed manually.

  • -n group_name
    The name of the group will be changed from group

to group_name.

Files

  • /etc/group - group information
  • /etc/gshadow - secure group information
