Re: Ubuntu Server 8: Managing users & groups: How to?

Is there a way to manage users & groups in Ubuntu Server much like
packages are managed in Aptitude? Something graphical on the command
line so I can worry a little less about command line parameters. If not,
is there a tutorial or reference somewhere that describes how to do a
couple of user/group related things, such as moving a user from one
group to another, adding users to and removing users from groups?

A command line solution, but check out the man pages for adduser and
addgroup.

Tony.
