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??
