group editing

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

I have redhat 6.0 with shadow passwords. I have both /etc/group (world
readable) and /etc/group- which is root-only readable. Both files look
basically the same:

username:x:uid

If I want to change some group settings (add people to a group, add a
group, whatever) do I need to change both files, or just one (which one).

Thanks,

Ben

We live in the Computer Age, and you need to get with the program.  You 
are standing in the airport terminal of life, and the jet plane of the 21st 
century is about to take off.  You must make a choice: Do you remain in the 
terminal, eating the stale vending-machine food of outmoded thinking?  Or do 
you get on the plane and soar into the stratosphere of computerization, swept
along by the jet stream of evolving technology, enjoying the in-flight snack 
of virtually unlimited information access, secure in the knowledge that if you
encounter the turbulence of rapid change, you are holding, in this book, the 
barf bag of expert guidance?  -- Dave Barry, Dave Barry in Cyberspace
