    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    There is nothing in /etc/group that tells what the group is for or what member capabilities are, but it will list the groups and members. What a group is created for should be part of the sysadmin's documentation, but it is not part of the default system documentation/files.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
