WARNINGS
As many users may try to write the /etc/passwd file simultaneously, a passwd locking mechanism was
devised. If this locking fails after subsequent retrying, usermod terminates.
While modifying the user login, the username is not added to the primary group entry in the
/etc/group file. If a supplemental group is specified, the user is added to the supplemental group. If
the size of a group entry in /etc/group file exceeds LINE_MAX limit, a new entry of the same group is
created and a warning message is issued.
FILES
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/ptmp
SEE ALSO
