Greetings,
huh?? how can it be groupmod.
I am guessing he wants to change the group of a user, his original
command looks correct to me, and would be what I would use.
:> > pw usermod _userid_ -g _newgroup_
Are you sure the group of the user did not change??
Did you run the command as root?
In fact, I just tried and it works okay:
[frodo] # groups nobody
nobody
[frodo] # pw usermod nobody -g wheel
[frodo] # groups nobody
wheel
[frodo] # pw usermod nobody -g nobody
[frodo] # groups nobody
nobody
Works okay
Regards,
