I don't understand group rights and associations
very well.
When you add users under Redhat Linux, the user
is placed into a group with the same name as the user. Is this kind of
hokey? I notice in the /etc/group file that a group named 'users' exists,
yet nobody is a member of it.
I'm wondering because I'm still fighting getting
dial up access to my Linux server. I think It's down to whether I have
proper rights and/or group associations. I think my mgetty / ppp
configuration references a group called 'modem', but I'm not sure how to
interpret the config files. If so, I suppose I need to add a group 'modem'
then add my username to it? Can I simply edit the 'group' file with
vi?
Thanks.
