[New: openFATE 311361] usermod
Feature added by: David Clarke (davidwilsonclarke) Feature #311361, revision 1 Title: usermod openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Clarke (davidwilsonclarke) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The version of usermod included with SUSE 11.3 does not have the -a option that is included with most other versions of this command, on other distros. Although an -A option was introduced with 11.3, which is a neater way of adding a user to a group, it would be nice to also have the -a option, to make it compatible with versions in other distros. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311361
