Creating a new group
QNX SDP8.0User's GuideUser
To create a new group, open /etc/group in a text editor, then add a line that specifies the new group's name, ID, and members.
For example:
techies:x:101:michel,jim,sue
For more information about the fields, see
/etc/group,
earlier in this chapter.
CAUTION:
Do this work at a time when the system is idle. As your text editor writes the
/etc/group file back, any application or utility that's trying
to simultaneously read the /etc/group file (e.g.,
ls -l, newgrp) might not function correctly.
