Gateway Group

A gateway group is a set of one or more users who are associated for some reason. The primary use of a gateway group is to simplify the writing of authorization rules which can apply to groups of users. The Gateway Group Database information is stored in /usr/adm/sg/gwgroup. Each group entry in the /usr/adm/sg/gwgroup file has these fields:

An example gateway user entry follows:

trusted:Security Staff:100:sandi,bill,steve

Only user root on the G Box can make changes to the Gateway User Database or Gateway Group Database.
