NAME

SYNOPSIS
       groupmod [-D binddn] [-P path] [-g gid [-o]] [-p password]

DESCRIPTION
       groupmod	 modifies a group entry using the values specified on the com‐
       mand line.

OPTIONS
       -g, --gid gid
	      Force the new group ID to be the given number. This  value  must
	      be  positive  and unique. The group of any file owned by the old
	      group must be changed manually.

       -o, --non-unique
	      Allow duplicate (non-unique) group IDs.

       -p, --password password
	      Set the encrypted password as returned by crypt(3)  as  the  new
	      group password.

	      The user will be prompted for a password for simple  authentica‐
	      tion.

       -P, --path path
	      The  group  file	is located below the specified directory path.
	      groupmod will use this file, not /etc/group.

       --service service
	      Modify the group from a special directory. The default is files,
	      but ldap is also valid.
