#   group.chk
#
#  Check group file -- /etc/group -- for incorrect number of fields,
# duplicate groups, non-alphanumeric group names, and non-numeric group
# id's.
#
# Awk part based on _passwd_ from _The AWK Programming Language_, page 78
#
#   Mechanism:  Group.check uses awk to ensure that each line of the group
# has 4 fields, as well as examining each line for any duplicate groups or
# any duplicate user id's in a given group by using "sort -u" to ferret
# out any duplications.  It also checks to make sure that the password
# field (the second one) is a "*", meaning the group has no password (a
# group password is usually not necessary because each member listed on 
# the line has all the privilages that the group has.)  All results are
# echoed to standard output.  Finally it ensures that the group names
# are alphanumeric, that the group id's are numeric, and that there are
# no blank lines.  For yellow pages groups, it does the same checking,
# but in order to get a listing of all members of the groups, it does a
# "ypcat group > ./$$" and uses that temporary file for a groupfile.
# It removes the tmp file after using it, of course.
#   The /etc/group file has a very specific format, making the task
# fairly simple.  Normally it has lines with 4 fields, each field
# separated by a colon (:).  The first field is the group name, the second
# field is the encrypted password (an asterix (*) means the group has no
# password, otherwise the first two characters are the salt), the third
# field is the group id number, and the fourth field is a list of user
# ids in the group.  If a line begins with a plus sign (+), it is a yellow
# pages entry.  See group(5) for more information.
