Ensure all groups in /etc/passwd exist in /etc/group

MoyenneNiveau 2Automatiséecos

Description

Over time, system administration errors and changes can lead to groups being defined in /etc/passwd but not in /etc/group . Groups defined in the /etc/passwd file but not in the /etc/group file pose a threat to system security since group permissions are not properly managed.
