I need to add several new users to a system. Each of these users should be a member of the same group – appdev
– and should not be assigned to a group that is the same as their user name.
Can I do this automatically so that I don't need to use the -g
or -G
parameters when using adduser
. Ideally, this would be something I could do once so that all new users in the future are also automatically added to this generic group and a group would not be created that has the same name as the new user(s).
Best Answer
In
/etc/adduser.conf
setUSERGROUPS
tono
andUSERS_GID
to the GID ofappdev
.
