Synopsis: The comments in /etc/group break many programs State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Mon Apr 3 05:01:19 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: These programs simply shouldn't do that. The format of the /etc/group file is implementation specific. Ours is well documented (group(5)) and proper, standard ways of reading its contents are provided (id(1), getgrent(3)). You should take this bad programming practice up with the authors of the software in which you've discovered it.
