NAME
netgroup -list of network groups
DESCRIPTION
netgroup defines network-wide groups, which are used for permission
checking when doing remote mounts, remote logins, and
remote shells. Each line of the net group file defines a group
and has the format
groupname member 1 member2 ...
where member 1 is either another group name or a triple of the
form
(hostname, username, domainname)
Any of three fields can be empty, in which case it signifies a wild
card. Thus
universal (,,)
defines a group to which everyone belongs.
Network groups are accessed through the yellow pages. The database
actually used by the yellow pages are in the two files
/etc/yp/domainname/netg. dir
/ etc /yp / domainname / netg . pag
These files can be created from /etc/netgroup using
rna kedbm(1M).
