Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I noticed in the group(5) manpage that the second field is used for group passwords. I am curious as to how exactly a group password would be used if software were to make use of it. Would it grant permission to someone not in the group if they gave the password, or would it require an additional password if you were indeed in the group? Or something completely different?
