.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBgroupmod\fR command modifies the system account files to reflect
|
|
|
|
|
the changes that are specified on the command line.
|
|
|
|

The options which apply to the \fIgroupmod\fR command are

|
|
.IP "\fB-g \fIgid\fR"
|
|
|
|
|
The numerical value of the group's ID.
|
|
|
|
|
This value must be unique, unless the \fB-o\fR 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.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP "\fB-n \fIgroup_name\fR"
