I'm not clear on the Unix group/user setupFrom what I have read, FreeBSD will place users in a default groupDo I need a group? I will have about 6 users (not all at once) DO I add a group before users? Will it be to my benefit down the road to make a group now?
Every user will be in a group-- by default, the group will have the same name as the user (his own group). You can add and modify users and groups through the pw command, the grand unified user and group management tool ("man pw" for more info). Adding a user to a group is as easy as
pw groupmod -m [username]
or tacking the user's name onto the end of the group in /etc/group, e.g.:
wheel:*:0:root,user1,user2,...
To add a group and populate it with existing members:
pw groupadd [groupname] -M [user1 user2 ...]
