    I know you can use "usermod" on RedHat Linux to add a user to another group
    by typing:
    usermod -G sam,frank steve
    This would effectively add steve to the "frank" and "sam" group. How do
    you remove them from those groups without editing the /etc/group file
    manually? I can do:
    usermod -G steve steve
    That will remove him from "sam" and "frank" groups but would add steve to
    his own group so the /etc/group file would look like:
    steve:x:590:steve
    instead of just:
    steve:x:590:
    For the life of me, I can't figure this one out. Does anybody know?

    Thanks
    Steve
