groupmod
Alicia wants to change the description of her group from "Sales Team" to "Marketing Team". The name of her Group is "Team_A". What command will she run to change the description of the group.
To change the description of the "Team_A" group from "Sales Team" to "Marketing Team", Alicia can use the following groupmod
command:
sudo groupmod -d "Marketing Team" Team_A
The -d
option is used to specify the new description for the group, followed by the name of the group (Team_A
in this case). This command will update the description associated with the "Team_A" group in the /etc/group
and /etc/gshadow
files.
Now, Alicia wants to change the name of "Team_A" to "Team_B". What command will she run?
To change the name of the "Team_A" group to "Team_B", Alicia can use the following groupmod
command:
sudo groupmod -n Team_B Team_A
The -n
option is used to specify the new name for the group (Team_B
in this case), followed by the old name of the group (Team_A
in this case). This command will update the group name associated with the "Team_A" group in the /etc/group
and /etc/gshadow
files. Note that this will also change the name of the group's home directory, if one exists.
