DESCRIPTION
The mkgroup program can be used to help configure your Windows system to be more UNIX-like by creating an initial /etc/group substitute (some commands need this file) from your system information. To initially set up your machine, use the following example’s declarations as a guide.

 
mkdir /etc
mkgroup > /etc/group
This information is static. If you change the group information in your system, regenerate the group file for it to have the new information.
The -d and -l options allow you to specify where the information derives, either the default (or given) domain (-d ), or the local machine (-l).
