Add user in freebsd to secondary group not primary group

Hi everyone. I have a linux box with FreeBSD and i have some questions. How do i Add user in freebsd to secondary group not primary group? Please help me. I am a newbie when the operating system is linux... I hope i find correct help... :biggrin: Thanks in advance... :rolleyes:

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 :

Code:

---

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... :thumbup1:

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... :rolleyes: :notworthy

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

Code:

---

pw usermod frebsd123 -G gamer

---

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

Code:

---

pw usermod username -G group1,group2

---

Hope this is what you want... :thumbup1:
