\fBgpasswd\fR [\fIoption\fR] \fIgroup\fR
.SH "BESCHREIBUNG"
.PP
The
\fBgpasswd\fR
command is used to administer
/etc/group, and /etc/gshadow\&. Every group can have
administrators,
members and a password\&.

.PP
\fBgpasswd\fR
called by
a group administrator
with a group name only prompts for the new password of the

.PP
If a password is set the members can still use
\fBnewgrp\fR(1)
without a password, and non\-members must supply the password\&.
.SS "Hinweise zu Gruppenpassw\(:ortern"
.PP
Gruppenpassw\(:orter bergen ein Sicherheitsrisiko, da mehrere Personen das Passwort kennen\&. Dennoch sind Gruppen ein n\(:utzliches Mittel f\(:ur die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Benutzern\&.
.SH "OPTIONEN"
.PP
Except for the
\fB\-A\fR
and
\fB\-M\fR
options, the options cannot be combined\&.

directory and use the configuration files from the

directory\&. Only absolute paths are supported\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-remove\-password\fR
.RS 4

to join the named
\fIgroup\fR\&.
