I had to add some users to a remote site.<br>X traffic from there is way to slow to<br>use system-config-users.<br><br>I got around it by doing<br><font face="courier new,courier"><br>for nam in user1 user2 user3 user4<br>do<br> groupadd $nam<br> useradd -g $nam $nam<br> echo $nam | stdin -- passwd $nam<br>done<br></font><br>(Passwords were actually set to something else)<br><br>But now I realize they should be in group x<br>(I don't want to change their original group,<br>just add them to group x). Normally I would<br>use system-config-users and add them but<br>the x traffic is too slow. I am not sure how<br>to do it without X. Is it simply a matter<br>of editing /etc/passwd and adding the<br>additional groups? Or perhaps editing<br>/etc/group and adding ,user1,user2 ....<br>to the entry for group x? Is there anything<br>else that would need to be done?<br>
