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

You could use Ebox which provides a graphical interface through the network,
so you don't have to add a desktop to your server and you still get a
Friendly GUI. You might check out *http://www.ebox*-platform.com to find
out more information.

Hi,

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?


First there is nothing on the command line that is graphical. You
either use the Command Line tools or punt. I have often wondered why
Server's are not just a desktop running on init 2. That way you can as
owner bring on the desktop to do things like users and groups.
