I'd like to make you 2 questions : 1) Why adduser add the user name in /etc/group even if it isn't mandatory ? I explain better . If I create the user "gmarco" that belongs to group 2000 (user) adduser add gmarco to 2000 group in /etc/group even if 2000 is the default group of gmarco. I always have to delete the username after the group by hand. It begin to be annoying :-) 2) How I can send a mail to all the user of a group ? I.e. I'd like to send a mail to all the users belong to 2000 group. Is it possible or I must use an alias followed by all the names in the same line ? (I have 300 users to administer and I think it isn't safe to add everyone to the line of the group.) Thanks in advance.
