scans the given file or, failing that, the system-wide group file for
|
2000-03-01 14:09:25 +00:00
|
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
|
Specifically, it checks that every non-blank, non-comment

1998-05-24 15:09:23 +00:00
|
|
|
entry is composed of four colon-separated fields, that none of them
|
|
|
|
|
contains whitespace, and that the third field (the group ID) is
|
2005-06-14 12:26:36 +00:00
|
|
|
numeric.
|
|
|
|
|
It will also check for invalid characters in the group names
|
2005-05-26 10:57:03 +00:00
|
|
|
and group members.
