OpenSolaris changing primary user group

  • 772

How to change primary user group of a user? Preferably without losing the current primary group altogether as the user is part of 'staff' ie. admin. I suppose I could create another admin user and then recreate the original user, but is there a simpler way?

  1. Use usermod(1M):

    # usermod -g PRIMARY_GROUP -G SECONDARY_GROUP username

  2. Have you tried the newgrp command?
