Group definition table (GDT)

A group definition table defines a group of attributes so the members of the group can be identified with a single name. GDTs can only used with the get and replaceWithDefault operations (because they do not require a value with the attribute).

Group definition table

   id	name uid gid
   env	home shell

1st column: group name: made up of characters [a-z_]* and used by the Server API to identify the group.
2nd column: members: The Server API will substitute this list of attributes for the corresponding group name.

In the example, the attribute group name env would be replaced by the attribute names home and shell.
