But if you want to "add a user to a pre-existing group" using usermod -G you have to know the groups that the user belongs to and list them all too, if you forget to list a group the user will be removed from that group, baka ma bad trip. That's what I understand from the "man usermod". It seems easier to just edit the file. Now, If you're adding hundreds, or thousands of users... a shell script w/ usermod would be better. And you are right! it is dangerous to go out of my room, nag wiwi ang aso namin sa may pintuan ko, nadulas ako, 'montik na ako mag summersult with a half twist.
