NAME
       gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow

ÜBERSICHT
       gpasswd [Option] Gruppe

BESCHREIBUNG
       The gpasswd command is used to administer /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow.
       Every group can have administrators, members and a password.

       System administrators can use the -A option to define group
       administrator(s) and the -M option to define members. They have all
       rights of group administrators and members.

       gpasswd called by a group administrator with a group name only prompts
       for the new password of the group.

       If a password is set the members can still use newgrp(1) without a
       password, and non-members must supply the password.

   Hinweise zu Gruppenpasswörtern
       Gruppenpasswörter beinhalten ein Sicherheitsrisiko, da mehrere Personen
       das Passwort kennen. Dennoch können sie sinnvoll sein, um die
       Zusammenarbeit zwischen Benutzern zu erleichtern.

OPTIONEN
       Except for the -A and -M options, the options cannot be combined.

       The options which apply to the gpasswd command are:

       -a, --add user
           Add the user to the named group.

       -d, --delete user
           Remove the user from the named group.

       -h, --help
           zeigt die Hilfe an und beendet das Programm

       -Q, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration
           files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. Only absolute paths are
           supported.

       -r, --remove-password
           Remove the password from the named group. The group password will
           be empty. Only group members will be allowed to use newgrp to join
           the named group.

       -R, --restrict
           Restrict the access to the named group. The group password is set
           to "!". Only group members with a password will be allowed to use
           newgrp to join the named group.

       -A, --administrators user,...
           Liste der Gruppenverwalter bestimmen

       -M, --members user,...
           Liste der Mitglieder der Gruppe bestimmen
