Problem on running groupadd

satimis · 12-12-2007, 10:15 AM

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64

I need to create a new group, vmgroup, adding userA, userB as member to the gourp;

On running;

$ sudo groupadd -g 123 -x members=userA,userB vmgroup

I can't find the extended option -x

Please advise how to overcome this problem adding members to the new group. TIA

B.R.

You can do the following

Code:

$sudo groupadd vmgroup
$sudo gpasswd -a userA,userB vmgroup

Thanks for your advice.

# gpasswd -a userA,userB vmgroup
did not work.

Nor a space added between userA and userB (userA, userB) improved the situation.

I must run;
# gpasswd -A userA -M userB (etc.) vmgroup
