How to really add FreeBSD users to groups
SoftwareI’ve seen sites listing this as the way to add a FreeBSD user to a group:
# echo "DON'T DO THIS"
# pw usermod [username] -G [groupname]
You almost certainly don’t want to do this. This command removes you from every group except the one you’ve listed. This has grave implications if you were a member of wheel before, because now you can’t elevate to root.
Instead, you want this:
# pw groupmod [groupname] -m [username]
