Creating files with New User
Hello All, I just created a new user on a server running SLES 11, and I created the user using the command below: Code:
# useradd -G nagios scpuser 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. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks in Advance, Matt |

How are you logging in to this user? That you're getting the wrong ownership is very odd.

Sorry all... Finally found the answer. This command allows me to create files/dirs with the correct Group Ownership: Code:
usermod -g nagios scpuser Thanks, Matt ---------- Post updated at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:32 PM ---------- Hey Corona, thanks for the reply... I got it now, but I had tried logging in through ssh and also with 'su scpuser', and both had the same result. But anyway it seems to be working now. Thanks Again, Matt |
