>Description:
The chkgrp command does not detect when there is not a newline at the end of the file. If the /etc/group file is not newline terminated, the /etc/group file's last entry will not be used. This is an error that could easily be checked for in chkgrp.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above
>Fix:
have chkgrp warn the user if no newline is found at the end of /etc/group
