GROUPMEMS(8)

NOM
groupmems - Administrer les membres du groupe primaire d'un utilisateur

SYNOPSIS

groupmems -a user_name | -d user_name | [-g group_name] | -l | -p

DESCRIPTION

The groupmems command allows a user to administer their own group membership list without the requirement of superuser privileges. The groupmems utility is for systems that configure its users to be in their own name sake primary group (i.e., guest / guest).

Only the superuser, as administrator, can use groupmems to alter the memberships of other groups.

OPTIONS

The options which apply to the groupmems command are:

-a, --add user_name
    Ajouter un utilisateur à la liste des membres du groupe.

    If the /etc/gshadow file exist, and the group has no entry in the /etc/gshadow file, a new entry will be created.

-d, --delete user_name
    Supprimer un utilisateur de la liste des membres du groupe.

    If the /etc/gshadow file exist, the user will be removed from the list of members and administrators of the group.

    If the /etc/gshadow file exist, and the group has no entry in the /etc/gshadow file, a new entry will be created.

-g, --group group_name
    Le superutilisateur peut préciser la liste des membres du groupe à modifier.

-h, --help
    Afficher un message d'aide et quitter.

-l, --list
    Afficher la liste des membres du groupe.

-p, --purge
    Supprimer tous les utilisateurs de la liste des membres du groupe.

    If the /etc/gshadow file exist, and the group has no entry in the /etc/gshadow file, a new entry will be created.

-R, --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.

CONFIGURATION

The groupmems executable should be in mode 2710 as user root and in group groups. The system administrator can add users to group groups to allow or disallow them using the groupmems utility to manage their own group membership list.

    	$ groupadd -r groups
    	$ chmod 2710 groupmems
    	$ chown root:groups groupmems
    	$ groupmems -g groups -a gk4

CONFIGURATION

The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:

MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
    Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in /etc/group (with the same name, same password, and same GID).

    The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group.

    This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters.

    If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.

    Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite). You should not use this variable unless you really need it.
