These fields are as follows: : group Name of the group. : passwd Group's encrypted password. : gid The group's decimal ID. : member Group members. And later on: : An entry whose name field consists of a single plus sign ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : with no group name following, will be replaced with the : entire YP/NIS ``group.byname'' map. But this certainly does not preclude the other fields from being filled in (with something).
