Create a group on Linux Red Hat

DJEFEL DJILALI — Mon, 07 May 2007 04:28:36 GMT

Dear all,

We were trying to create a Group (for users) using the graphical interface but the process takes very long time without success. After we open the graphical tool and make all the selections (group name, group id ... ) we click on next, the tool hangs and stays there.

However it works fine using the Command Line 'groupadd'.
Our system is Linux Red Hat V4 U4.

Thanks for your help.

GUI tools tends to hang if the network configuration, specifically name resolution, is not correct.

Check if the /etc/hosts file contains the IP and host name that corresponds with the:

ifconfig -a
hostname

commands.

Also, you should try webmin, it's a great tool.
