[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1006225: shadow: manpages groups and id - replacement of "concurrent group sets"

Source: shadow
Version: 4.8.1
Severity: minor
Dear Serge,
attached the edited xml files for groups.1 and id.1 where "concurrent
group set" occured. These occurences were replaced with "supplementary
groups" and a reference to initgroups(3).
No other changes were made
- as real and effective IDs are only mentioned, but the shadow
implementation of groups and id (which have no option --real) and
- as there are doubts whether these binaries/manpages will reach users
at all. They are not within the Debian distribution.
Best regards
Markus
