<para>The argument to the <option>-M</option> option is a
|
||||
comma-delimited list of users who are members of the group. If
|
||||
you've read the preceeding sections, you'll know that the password
|
||||
file also contains a group for each user; the group in the password
|
||||
file is automatically added to the group list by the system and will
|
||||
not (should not) appear in the list of members when using &man.pw.8;
|
||||
to query group membership. If you wish to find out what groups a
|
||||
user is part of, you can use the &man.id.1; program as so:</para>
|
||||
comma-delimited list of users who are members of the group. From the
|
||||
preceding sections, we know that the password file also contains a
|
||||
group for each user. The latter (the user) is automatically added to
|
||||
the group list by the system; the user will not show up as a member
|
||||
when using the <command>groupshow</command> command to &man.pw.8;,
|
||||
but will show up when the information is queried via &man.id.1; or
|
||||
similar tool. In other words, &man.pw.8; only manipulates the
|
||||
<filename>/etc/group</filename> file; it will never attempt to read
|
||||
additionally data from <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>.</para>
