useradd and multiple group question
Published (2009-11-23 11:05:00)

If you want to add the user to additional groups these must exist. So if you want for example to create a user, assign primary group users and additional groups developers,printer,etc... If the groups developers and printers don't exist:...

For all practical intents and purposes the result should be the same, unless your program is trying to do "sticky" things. As for actually changing it - have a look at /etc/profile Cheers, Tink
