Modifying an existing group

QNX SDP8.0User's GuideUser

Each time you add a new user to a group (e.g., when you use passwd to create a new user account), you need to edit the /etc/group file and add the user to the appropriate group entry.

For instance, if you have an existing group techies and want to add the user zeke to the group, change:
techies:x:101:michel,jim,sue
to:
techies:x:101:michel,jim,sue,zeke

You should do this at a time when you're certain no users or programs are trying to use the /etc/group file.
