ORG(4)                          Domain/OS SysV                          ORG(4)



NAME
     org - org file

DESCRIPTION
     In Domain/OS SysV, /etc/org is an object of the type org, maintained by
     the registry server (see rgyd(1M)).  You cannot edit it directly.  Its
     type manager, however, makes its information available to those utilities
     (grep, cat, etc.) that manage ordinary text.  The succeeding discussion,
     therefore, pertains to that representation of information in /etc/org as
     might be seen by doing "cat /etc/org."

     The file /etc/org contains, for each organization, the following
     information:

          organization name
          encrypted password
          numerical organization ID
          a comma separated list of all users allowed in the organization

     The fields are separated by colons; each organization is separated from
     the next by a newline.  If the password field is null, no password is
     demanded.  A backslash (\) at the end of a line indicates that the
     membership list continues on the next line.

     This file resides in the directory /etc.  The encrypted passwords make it
     possible to give others read permission to /etc/org without jeopardizing
     security.  It can be used, for example, to map numerical organization
     ID's to names.

FILES
     /etc/org

SEE ALSO
     passwd(1), rgyd(1M), crypt(3), getorgent(3), passwd(4)

BUGS
     The passwd(1) command won't change the passwords.
