I have a diff here which I need to do some clean up on and I still have to do the diff for the manpage but here's what it is like: # id test uid=1001(test) gid=10(users) groups=10(users), 9(wsrc) # usermod -G dialer,network test # id test uid=1001(test) gid=10(users) groups=10(users), 9(wsrc), 69(network), 117(dialer) # usermod -S dialer,network test # id test uid=1001(test) gid=10(users) groups=10(users), 69(network), 117(dialer) so -G *adds* the user to secondary groups while -S *sets* the users secondary groups. Right now it's possible to specify -G and -S which of course doesn't make any sense so I have to get rid of that and the manpage needs to be adjusted. I think I have a good looking diff ready by tomorrow. Frank. -- Frank Brodbeck <f...@guug.de>
