GRPCK(8)

NAZWA
grpck - verify integrity of group files

STRESZCZENIE

grpck [opcje] [group [ shadow ]]

OPIS

The grpck command verifies the integrity of the groups information. It checks that all entries in /etc/group and /etc/gshadow have the proper format and contain valid data. The user is prompted to delete entries that are improperly formatted or which have other uncorrectable errors.

Checks are made to verify that each entry has:

    • the correct number of fields

    • a unique and valid group name

    • a valid group identifier (/etc/group only)

    • a valid list of members and administrators

    • a corresponding entry in the /etc/gshadow file (respectively /etc/group for the gshadow checks)

The checks for correct number of fields and unique group name are fatal. If an 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 groupmod command to correct the error.

The commands which operate on the /etc/group and /etc/gshadow files are not able to alter corrupted or duplicated entries. grpck should be used in those circumstances to remove the offending entries.

    Sort entries in /etc/group and /etc/gshadow by GID.

-S, --silence-warnings
    Suppress more controversial warnings, in particular warnings about inconsistency between group members listed in /etc/group and /etc/ghadow.

By default, grpck operates on /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. The user may select alternate files with the group and shadow parameters.
