User Security Help

[datadan]

useradd creates and entry in /etc/group.

How can I have it NOT do this. I don't want a group for every user. Having a unique group for every user defeats the purposes of groups. The rh6.0 version I had did not do this, but rh6.2 does.

You help is appreciated.

Thank you.

try useradd -g group_name new_user_name

This seems to work 1/2 way! A great step forward. It does not add the group new_user, however nor does it add new_user to the the existing_group.

Maybe I need to load this stuff in a script....
