-====== Groups - Ensure consistency between group and shadow group files ======
-There should be consistency in **/etc/group** and **/etc/gshadow**.
-Run the **grpck** command to check that these two files reconcile.
-<code bash>
-grpck
-</code>
-Result:
-<code bash>
-no matching group file entry in /etc/gshadow
-add group 'sambasecureshare' in /etc/gshadow? y
-'john' is a member of the 'sshusers' group in /etc/group but not in /etc/gshadow
-'root' is a member of the 'tomcat' group in /etc/gshadow but not in /etc/group
-</code>
-As can be seen there are a number of inconsistencies.
-Lets fix these.
-Action:
-  * Accept the offer to add the group 'sambasecureshare' in /etc/gshadow by entering a '**y**' and pressing enter.
-  * Add 'john' to the 'sshusers' group in /etc/gshadow manually.
-  * We don't want root to belong to the 'tomcat' group, so we remove this from /etc/gshadow.
