adding a group to samba
its easy to add users to a file server (samba on clarkconnect) but adding groups is not so easy on a stock configuration unless i add webmin. and in an effort to keep things simple i didn’t add webmin. instead i use the console. the following was taken from one of the threads in the cc forum:
from the console (putty):
% groupadd public
to make sure it works:
% cat /etc/group | grep public
this should return public:x:502 or something similar
to add user1 to this group
% usermod -g public user1
another way to add a person to a group is to edit /etc/group and add user1 to the public group:
public:x:502:user2,user1
note that “502″ is system assigned. do not change it.
