To add a new user to the system's secondary group you must have a group defined. Say for example the user name will be 'fame' and must be in the secondary group 'second' then the command will be :

pw useradd fame -G second
pw fame

The second line of the command is used to change/set the password for the username 'fame'. Hope this helps...

Aaw! I'm so sorry i did not detail what i want to do. I have three user account created, i want to add the existing username 'freebsd123' to a secondary group named 'gamer'. Can i do this? Or will i have to create a new user after deleting the exisiting user account? Please help.. Thanks in advance...

Ok, that is possible and indeed very simple to do. Just open terminal and type the following command :

pw usermod frebsd123 -G gamer

Also if you want to add an existing username to multiple groups you can do it by :

pw usermod username -G group1,group2

Hope this is what you want...
