The first, and highly suggested way is to add the user to /etc/groups. for example, if wanted to add user cyberfrg to group wheel i would add wheel:*:0:root,cyberfrg notice the comma without spaces. This can also be accomplished by changing the GID of the user in /etc/master.passwd This isn't suggested. On Wed, Dec 29, 1999 at 01:05:10PM -0500, Damian A.
