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`).
