NAME
       group.chk  - Checks group file(s) for inconsistencies.

SYNOPSIS
       group.chk

DESCRIPTION
       group.chk checks the group files -- /etc/group and ypgroup
       if yellow pages are being used -- for incorrect number  of
       fields,  duplicate  groups,  non-alphanumeric group names,
       blank lines, and non-numeric group id's.

FILES
       /etc/group
       group.chk uses the process id as a temporary file name for the ypchecking.

SEE ALSO
       group(5)
       Awk part based on _passwd_ from _The AWK Programming  Lan-
       guage_, page 78.

BUGS
       It  doesn't  use the exact syntax of yellow pages to check
       for errors.
