====== Ubuntu - 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.
grpck
result:
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
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.
