Editing /etc/group page 10 of 13


Now that /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are set up, it's now time to get /etc/group configured properly. To do this, type:


# vigr

Your /etc/group file will appear in front of you, ready for editing. Now, if you chose to assign a default group of users for your particular test user, you do not need to add any groups to /etc/groups. However, if you chose to create a new group for this user, go ahead and add the following line:


testuser:x:3000:

Now save and exit.
