Textual File of Authentication Groups

This directive sets the name of a textual file containing the list of user groups for user authentication. The argument filename consists of the path to the group file.

Each line of the group file contains a group name followed by a colon, followed by the member user names separated by spaces (for example, ``foo: bar quux'').
