This is a multipart question, 1. I have discovered the groupadd command to create a new group on my FC3 server, what command do I use to add users to that group -- I need to do it from the command line because some of the users I must add are Active Directory users from samba, and the only way that I have found to make things in linux recognize them is to supply the UID through command line (commands like chown and chgrp). This appears to be because there is no user in linux, only the ones that are being authenticated against the AD domain server. What I need to accomplish is this: I have a folder in the website called attend (it's a folder to put our attendance reports in so that the teachers can view them) Right now, its owned by MCASCHOOL\TIMHOLEMS (uid 15000) the group is apache (thereby giving the webserver access to it) I need to add an active directory user (MCASCHOOL\HGERM) (uid 15068) to the apache group, or alternatively create a different group that includes the apache user and that user as well as a couple others, so that they can publish to it etc. Thanks TIM Timothy A.
