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, /calvin lines with :> are quotes from Gerald T.
