I was looking at the configuration files under /etc that I needed to update. |
2 |
One file I need to update is /etc/group. My system uses shadow passwords, so I |
3 |
think it is right that I have entries like this. |
4 |
|
5 |
root:x:0:root |
6 |
|
7 |
(yes, x appears on /etc/passwd as well). |
8 |
|
9 |
The update that I see however is to blank that x in the password file. |
10 |
|
11 |
root::0:root |
12 |
|
13 |
Yes, I understand that it is meaningful, since usually you don't give a group |
14 |
password but I would only like to be sure that it is the right thing to do. |

Thanks. |
