/usr/sbin/groupmod [-g gid [-o]][-n name] group
Use the groupmod command to modify the definition of the specified group by modifying the appropriate entry in the /etc/group file.
Note
The groupmod command modifies group definitions only in the /etc/group file. If a network nameservice such as NIS or NIS+ is being used to supplement the local /etc/group file with additional entries, groupmod cannot change information supplied by the network nameservice. The groupmod command does, however, verify the uniqueness of group name and group ID against the external nameservice.
| -g gid | Specify the new group ID for the group. This group ID must be a nonnegative decimal integer ... |
