The version provided with Red Hat Linux will create a group for each user added to the system, unless -n option is given. The options which apply to the useradd command are -g default_group The group name or ID for a new user's initial group. The named group must exist, and a numerical group ID must have an existing entry . -n A group having the same name as the user being added to the system will be created by default. This option will turn off this Red Hat Linux spe cific behavior. -- 6:53pm up 34 days, 7:50, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 __ | / \ | Iouri Goussev // \\ \_\\ //_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\\()//_ .'/()\'.
