GROUPADD(8) Comandi per la gestione del si GROUPADD(8)

NOME

groupadd - crea un nuovo gruppo

SINOSSI

groupadd [opzioni] gruppo

DESCRIZIONE

The groupadd command creates a new group account using the values specified on the command line plus the default values from the system. The new group will be entered into the system files as needed.

OPZIONI

The options which apply to the groupadd command are:

-f, --force

This option causes the command to simply exit with success status if the specified group already exists. When used with -g, and the specified GID already exists, another (unique) GID is chosen (i.e. -g is turned off).

-g, --gid GID

The numerical value of the group's ID. This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than or equal to GID_MIN and greater than every other group.

See also the -r option and the GID_MAX description.

-h, --help

Mostra un messaggio di aiuto ed esce.

-K, --key KEY=VALUE

Overrides /etc/login.defs defaults (GID_MIN, GID_MAX and others). Multiple -K options can be specified.

Example: -K GID_MIN=100  -K GID_MAX=499

Note: -K GID_MIN=10,GID_MAX=499 doesn't work yet.

-o, --non-unique

Questa opzione permette di aggiungere un gruppo con un GID non univoco.

-p, --password PASSWORD

The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is to disable the password.

Note: This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will be visible by users listing the processes.

Ci si deve accertare che la password rispetti le norme delle password del sistema.

-r, --system

Crea un gruppo di sistema.

The numeric identifiers of new system groups are chosen in the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range, defined in login.defs, instead of GID_MIN-GID_MAX.

-R, --root CHROOT_DIR

Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR

Apply changes in the PREFIX_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the PREFIX_DIR directory. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a cross-compilation target. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified. PAM authentication is using the host files. No SELINUX support.

-U, --users

A list of usernames to add as members of the group.

The default behavior (if the -g, -N, and -U options are not specified) is defined by the USERGROUPS_ENAB variable in /etc/login.defs.

CONFIGURAZIONE

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

FILE

/etc/group

Informazioni sugli account di gruppo.

/etc/gshadow

Informazioni sicure sugli account di gruppo.

/etc/login.defs

Configurazione del pacchetto password shadow

AVVISI/CAVEAT

Groupnames may contain only lower and upper case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes. They can end with a dollar sign. Dashes are not allowed at the beginning of the groupname. Fully numeric groupnames and groupnames . or .. are also disallowed.

Groupnames may only be up to 32 characters long.

Non è possibile aggiungere un gruppo NIS o LDAP. Questo deve essere fatto sul server corrispondente.

If the groupname already exists in an external group database such as NIS or LDAP, groupadd will deny the group creation request.

VALORI RESTITUITI

The groupadd command exits with the following values:

0

success

2

invalid command syntax

3

invalid argument to option

4

GID is already used (when called without -o)

9
