Yes, but what if I want to remove him from both groups. You can't type
"usermod -G steve". Basically, I am wanting to remove him from ALL groups
except for his initial group. And "usermod -g steve steve" will not do it
either. The "-G" must have atleast one group as an
option..................................I just tried something that seems
to work, but not sure if it is suppose to work this way. I typed:
usermod -G "" steve
and that removed steve from all extra groups. So either my problem is
solved, or there is another "proper" way of doing it.
Thanks for your help
Steve
