NAMEgshadow − shadowed group file

DESCRIPTION/etc/gshadow contains the shadowed information for group accounts​. This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is to be maintained​. Each line of this file contains the following colon−separated fields: group name It must be a valid group name, which exist on the system​. encrypted password Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted​. If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of crypt(3), for instance ! or *, users will not be able to use a unix password to access the group (but group members do not need the password)​. The password is used when a user who is not a member of the group wants to gain the permissions of this group (see newgrp(1))​. This field may be empty, in which case only the group members can gain the group permissions​. A password field which starts with an exclamation mark means that the password is locked​. The remaining characters on the line represent the password field before the password was locked​. This password supersedes any password specified in /etc/group​. administrators It must be a comma−separated list of user names​. Administrators can change the password or the members of the group​. Administrators also have the same permissions as the members (see below)​. members It must be a comma−separated list of user names​. Members can access the group without being prompted for a password​. You should use the same list of users as in /etc/group​.

FILES/etc/group Group account information​. /etc/gshadow Secure group account information​.
