I have a server box with the following files: /etc/passwd foo:x:1000:1000::/home/foo:/bin/bash bar:x:1001:1001::/home/bar:/bin/bash /etc/group foo:x:1000: bar:!:1001:foo /etc/shadow foo:[ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD]:14010:0:99999:7::: bar:[ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD]:14055:0:99999:7::: Now the question is, what commands could the sys admin have possibly issued to end up with that last line in /etc/group with an exclamation point in the password field? I'm have a seriously hard time figuring that out. I'm trying to set up another server box with exactly the same user setup, but I don't want to copy the files, I want to know what commands were used to generate them.
