1. Explanation of/etc/group;
The/etc/group file is the configuration file of the user group. it contains the user and user group, and shows which user group or user group the user belongs, because a user can belong to one or more different user groups, users in the same user group have similar features. For example, if we add a user to the root user group, this user can browse the files in the root user's home directory. if the root user opens the read and write permissions for a file, all users of the root user group can modify this file. if it is an executable file (such as a script), users of the root user group can also execute it;
User group features provide great convenience for system administrators in system management, but security is also worth noting. for example, a user has the most important content for system management, it is best to allow users to have independent user groups, or set the permissions of files under the user to be completely private. In addition, the root user group should not easily add normal users,
