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 + fileand /etc/gshadow files + are not able to alter corrupted or duplicated entries. + grpck should be used in those circumstances to + remove the offending entries. + + + + + OPTIONS + + The and options cannot be + combined. + + + The options which apply to the grpck command are: + + + + , + + Display help message and exit. + + + + , + + + Execute the grpck command in read-only mode. + This causes all questions regarding changes to be answered + no without user intervention. + + + + + + ,  CHROOT_DIR + + + + Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR + directory and use the configuration files from the + CHROOT_DIR directory. + + + + + , + + + Sort entries in /etc/group + and + /etc/gshadow + by GID. + + + + + + By default, grpck operates on + /etc/group and + /etc/gshadow. + The user may select alternate files with the group + parameter. + and shadow + parameters. + + + + + CONFIGURATION + + The following configuration variables in + /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this + tool: + + + &MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP; + + + + + FILES + + + /etc/group + + Group account information. + + + + /etc/gshadow + + Secure group account information. + + + + /etc/passwd + + User account information. + + + + + + + EXIT VALUES + + The grpck command exits with the following values: + + + 0 + + success + + + + 1 + + invalid command syntax + + + + 2 + + one or more bad group entries + + + + 3 + + can't open group files + + + + 4 + + can't lock group files + + + + 5 + + can't update group files + + + + + + + + SEE ALSO + + + group5 + , + + groupmod8 + , + + + gshadow5, + , + + + passwd5 + , + + pwck8 + , + + shadow5 + . + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
