Hi,

from the man page of `chown`
chown [-h] [-R] owner[:group] file

Read the man page and you'll get a lot more info.

Cheers!!

Hi

usermod -g group1 -G group2,group3 username

that shall add the user the group membership of group2 and group3 and primary group as group1.

but these groups haave to exist on the system.

see more usermod manpages for additional things.

sujit

hi,
See the example below
Change a userâ s primary and secondary group membership
# usermod â g users user1
# usermod â G class,training user1
or
# groupmod -n accounts accts # change accounts to orauser if accts group not exist
# groupmod -g 111 -o dbuser # change group id into 111, if the grp ID 111 is already in use
