Details to reproduce issue is as - (1)On RadHat linux system, a usergroup with name "newuser" already exists. (2)Tried to add user with name "newuser" using following command. useradd newuser (3)Got following problem - useradd: group test123 exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g I was hoping to set "newuser" as primary usergroup while executing above command. Pls let me know any possible workaround for the same. Regards Rajanish Rai __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
