That doesn't quite do what you think it does. It *does* add the users
to group scanner, but it also deletes them from any other groups that
they're currently members of. So, you need to change that to include
all the groups that the user is already a member of, e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ groups johnc
johnc : johnc disk floppy apache
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ usermod -G johnc,disk,floppy,apache,scanner johnc
The first group in the list is the user's primary group. Make sure it
stays the same.
Cheers,
John
