Full Version: group users for new user?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello all,

I added on my Xbian system a new user "foobar" and there seems to be no group "users"?

The home directory of the new user looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x 2 foobar foobar 4096 Feb 7 21:37 foobar

Shouldn't this be like this?

drwxr-xr-x 2 foobar users 4096 Feb 7 21:37 foobar

Many thanks in advance

Turtle

PS: By the way, the user "users" is in the system:
> sudo group add users
gives
> groupadd: group 'users' already exists
but users is nowhere to be found in /etc/groups
What are you actually trying to achieve?

What is the output from
Terminal
groups

typing groups says:
> xbian sudo input

Why is the users group not there? I am trying to setup xbian so that the raspi is a cloud and samba server. I was just surprised that no "users" group was set as default for a new user. Thanks a lot for answering.
Sounds like you should be using Raspbian and not Xbian.

or you could try RaspXbian
@turtle

this is depending on configuration, look into:
Code:
/etc/default/useradd

if you uncomment GROUP=100, useradd will do what you want.
