    GROUP(V)                     2/10/75                     GROUP(V)

    NAME
         group - group file

    DESCRIPTION
         Group contains for each group the following information:

              group name
              encrypted password
              numerical group ID
              a  comma  separated  list  of  all users allowed in the
                   group

         This is an ASCII file.  The fields are separated by  colons;
         Each group is separated from the next by a new-line.  If the
         password field is null, no password is demanded.

         This file resides in directory /etc.   Because  of  the  en-
         crypted passwords, it can and does have general read permis-
         sion and can be used, for example, to  map  numerical  group
         ID's to names.
