I just created a new user on a server running SLES 11, and I created the user using the command below:
But whenever I create a file or directory while logged in as this user it creates the file's ownership permissions as "scpuser:users"
instead of it using the name of the group I added it to when I created it...
Any idea how I can get it to create files/dirs with the user:group combo I used when I created the User...? I'm guessing when
this user creates files/dirs and it gives the group ownership as "users", I'm guess this is some sort of default behavior?
Anyway, basically I just want this user to create files/dirs and have the ownership/permissions be set
using User=scpuser and Group=nagios...
Any idea how I make this the default behavior for this user?
I verified that the scpuser is ONLY listed on one line, and that is with the 'nagios' group in /etc/group file.
