.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm netgroup
|
|
.Nd defines network groups
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm netgroup
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm netgroup
|
|
file
|
|
specifies ``netgroups'', which are sets of
|
|
.Sy (host, user, domain)
|
|
tuples that are to be given similar network access.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each line in the file
|
|
consists of a netgroup name followed by a list of the members of the
|
|
netgroup.
|
|
Each member can be either the name of another netgroup or a specification
|
|
of a tuple as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
(host, user, domain)
|
|
.Ed
|
|
where the
|
|
.Sy host ,
|
|
.Sy user ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy domain
|
|
are character string names for the corresponding component.
|
|
Any of the comma separated fields may be empty to specify a ``wildcard'' value
|
|
or may consist of the string ``-'' to specify ``no valid value''.
|
|
The members of the list may be separated by whitespace and/or commas;
|
|
the ``\e'' character may be used at the end of a line to specify
|
|
line continuation.
|
|
The functions specified in
|
|
.Xr getnetgrent 3
|
|
should normally be used to access the
|
|
.Nm netgroup
|
|
database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lines that begin with a # are treated as comments.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /etc/netgroup -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/netgroup
|
|
the netgroup database.

.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|

|
|
.Xr exports 5
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The file format is compatible with that of various vendors, however it
|
|
appears that not all vendors use an identical format.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The interpretation of access restrictions based on the member tuples of a
|
|
netgroup is left up to the various network applications.
|
|
Also, it is not obvious how the domain specification
|
|
applies to the BSD environment.
