SUBGID(5) File Formats and Conversions SUBGID(5)
NAME
subgid - the subordinate gid file
DESCRIPTION
Each line in /etc/subgid contains a user name and a range of
subordinate group ids that user is allowed to use. This is specified
with three fields delimited by colons (":"). These fields are:
o login name or UID
o numerical subordinate group ID
o numerical subordinate group ID count
This file specifies the group IDs that ordinary users can use, with the
newgidmap command, to configure gid mapping in a user namespace.
Multiple ranges may be specified per user.
When large number of entries (10000-100000 or more) are defined in
/etc/subgid, parsing performance penalty will become noticeable. In
this case it is recommended to use UIDs instead of login names.
Benchmarks have shown speed-ups up to 20x.
