/etc/group
Hello! /etc/group in default debain installation contains dozens of
groups and I'm wondering: how to determine their purpose? Which
package did some specific group came from? What purpose does it serve?
It's not very convenient to search info about group XXX in every
installed package documentation. And I didn't find corresponding info
in Debian Reference either. And even if you know the package group is
bound to it's purpose isn't completely clear.
For instance: there is an emtpy (no users) ssh group on my Debian Box.
It's clear that it's being used by the ssh package. But how? I wonder
if I can use it for AllowGroups in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I mean will
interfere with something?
Alexey
