<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <command>grpck</command> command verifies the integrity of the
|
|
system authentication information. All entries in
|
|
<filename>/etc/group</filename> <phrase condition="gshadow">and
|
|
<filename>/etc/gshadow</filename></phrase>
|
|
are checked to see that the entry has the proper format and valid data
|
|
in each field. The user is prompted to delete entries that are
|
|
improperly formatted or which have other uncorrectable errors.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Checks are made to verify that each entry has:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist mark='bullet'>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>the correct number of fields</para>
|
|
</listitem>

<para>a valid list of members and administrators</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The checks for correct number of fields and unique group name are
|
|
fatal. If the entry has the wrong number of fields, the user will be
|
|
prompted to delete the entire line. If the user does not answer
|
|
affirmatively, all further checks are bypassed. An entry with a
|
|
duplicated group name is prompted for deletion, but the remaining
|
|
checks will still be made. All other errors are warnings and the user
|
|
is encouraged to run the <command>groupmod</command> command to
|
|
correct the error.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|

<para>
|
|
The commands which operate on the <filename>/etc/group</filename> file
|
|
are not able to alter corrupted or duplicated entries.

<command>grpck</command> should be used in those circumstances to
|
|
remove the offending entry.
