Add user to group

[Raz316]

I know this is probably really simple, but i kinda need to make sure I dont screw this up.

In linux, how do I add the user woop to the group lp

if you don't know this sort of stuff you shouldn't be using it, sorry to be harsh.

there are tons of graphical tools to help you do this, but

usermod -G $group $user would add a user to a group that is not his primary group, or you could just hack /etc/group if your not using shadow groups.

Yeah I know what you mean. usermod is what I was going to use, but being new to this job I wanted to make sure.

Thanks iko.
