NAME

group.adjunct − group security data file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/security/group.adjunct

DESCRIPTION

The group.adjunct file contains the following information for each group:

groupname:password

groupname The group’s name in the system; it must be unique. 

password The encrypted password, formerly field two of the /etc/group file. 

The group.adjunct file is in ASCII.  Fields are separated by a colon, and each group is separated from the next by a NEWLINE. 

A group.adjunct file can have a line beginning with a ‘+’ (plus sign), which means to incorporate entries from the Yellow Pages.  There are two styles of ‘+’ entries: all by itself, ‘+’ means to insert the entire contents of the group.adjunct Yellow Pages file at that point; +name means to insert the entry (if any) for name from the Yellow Pages at that point.  If a ‘+’ entry has a non-NULL password, the contents of that field will override what is contained in the Yellow Pages.
