Hello dear all.
i tried to add a user to snort group in the centos with this command:
useradd snort -d /var/log/snort -s /sbin/nologin -c SNORT_IDS –g snort

but its not working! any idea?

Hello Mohammad,

The "useradd" command creates a new user account. If you're trying to
add an existing user to a group, you'll want the usermod command. For
example,

usermod -a -G snort markjx

the previous command adds the user "markjx" to the group "snort".

This is just Linux admin and isn't specific to CentOS, or anything
else. In fact, it probably works under FreeBSD as well.

Thanks,

MJ
