I have noticed differences in /etc/groups lately. Older files had the form group:*: Newer files have the form group :x: On my laptop yesterday, a groups.rpmnew was created with the form group:: I read the manual and it suggests that the latter form means no password. What does all of this mean? What effect does the * or x have? If it is blank, what does it mean for a group to have no password? No password for login? Why would such a file be generated upon yum update for my laptop? Can one have different settings for different groups in the same file? When would one use which setting? |
