Removing users from groups
How do I remove a user from a group? I'm using the usermod command but its not working.
I have a user "abc" who is a member of the groups root and other. I'm trying to remove him from the group "other" (using CLI) which is his secondary group but it's not working. How do I do this? Is there any other command that I am supposed to use instead of usermod?? |

Well, it's not working. That's why I ended up posting it here!! Let me rephrase my doubt. I don't want make the user a member of any secondary group. He should continue to be a member of the primary group but I want to delete him from his secondary group. Usermod is not working.

Hi! Yes thats right i thinks you are missing /etc/group other wise go try with Chmode --help for list of multiple commands you may perform.

Hey jlliagre,
I saw that the first time you posted. Two issues: 1. I'm trying to find out if I can do it using usermod. 2. I have no clue how to edit the /etc/group to remove a user from there. The entry in the file is [other::1:] So, here I am scratching my head how to edit that and remove him from the group!! ---------- Post updated at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:45 PM ---------- In case if my command worked and removed the user from the group, why is it still showing the group 'other' when I say [groups user]??? I'm totally lost!! ---------- Post updated at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:50 PM ---------- Guys, Thanks for your support and all the suggestions. The user "was" removed from the group but it was only updated after reboot. I think I'll give it a break before I start to think why I needed a reboot!! ---------- Post updated at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:32 PM ---------- Guys, Thanks for your support and all the suggestions.
