NAME
     ftpgroups - FTP Server enhanced group access file

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups


DESCRIPTION
     The ftpgroups file contains the enhanced group access infor-
     mation.


     After login, if the ftpaccess(4) file includes private  yes,
     the  user  may use the SITE GROUP and SITE GPAS commands to
     specify an enhanced access group and  a  password  for  that
     group.  If the access group name and password are valid, the
     FTP Server executes setuid(2) to make the user a  member  of
     the real group listed in the ftpgroups file.


     The format for the ftpgroups file is:

       accessgroup:encryptedpassword:realgroupname



     The fields are defined as follows:

     accessgroup           An arbitrary  string  of  alphanumeric
                           and punctuation characters.


     encryptedpassword    The group password  encrypted  exactly
                           like in /etc/shadow.


     realgroupname       The name of a valid group returned  by
                           getgrnam(3C).



     The privatepw utility is  an  administrative  tool  to  add,
     delete  and  list  enhanced  access group information in the
     ftpgroups file. See privatepw(1M). Lines that begin with a #
     sign are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
