+    <para>
+      <filename>/etc/gshadow</filename> contains the shadowed information
+      for group accounts.

+    <para>
+      This file must not be readable by regular users if password security
+      is to be maintained.

+
+    <para>
+      Each line of this file contains the following colon-separated
+      fields:
+    </para>
+    <variablelist>
+      <varlistentry>
+	<term><emphasis role="bold">group name</emphasis></term>
+	<listitem>
+	  <para>
+	    It must be a valid group name, which exist on the system.

+	<listitem>
+	  <para>
+	    Refer to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>crypt</refentrytitle>
+	    <manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on how
+	    this string is interpreted.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    If the password field contains some string that is not a valid
+	    result of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>crypt</refentrytitle>
+	    <manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, 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).
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    The password is used when a user who is not a member of the
+	    group wants to gain the permissions of this group (see
+	    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>newgrp</refentrytitle>
+	    <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    This field may be empty, in which case only the group members
+	    can gain the group permissions.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    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.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    This password supersedes any password specified in
+	    <filename>/etc/group</filename>.

+	    Administrators can change the password or the members of the
+	    group.
