====== Users_manage ======

=====Adding and Removing Users=====
Its also worth taking a look in /etc/passwd for listing of users.

 adduser blah
 userdel blah

 groupadd users          <nowiki>//</nowiki>Create a Group
 adduser username users  <nowiki>//</nowiki>Add a Member into the above group (Not making it their primary group)
 
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>Putting a user into a group manually. This will not make it their primary group!
 vi /etc/group
 adm:x:4:user1,user2

**Make the newgroup the PRIMARY one for the user:**<br>
Particularly useful, as adding a user into a group will not change their primary group!!
 usermod -g newgroup user

=== Add a NEW user into an EXISTING Group ===
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>This is what should be normally done, as it makes users their PRIMARY group, instead of making a new one!!
 adduser --ingroup users username 
 
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>dont know if this is essential, but add them into the groups file in /etc -
 adduser username users

=== Add a user into a group ===
Instead of editing manually /etc/group, this is the preferred way:
 adduser username group
