Author: Infong Date: 02 Oct 2011 Category: os Comments

Some FreeBSD command.

Add a new user:

adduser USERNAME

Add a new group:

pw groupadd GROUPNAME

Add user to group:

pw groupmod GROUPNAME -m USERNAME

Show group information:

pw groupshow GROUPNAME

Delete a user:

pw userdell USERNAME || pw userdell UID || rmuser username

---

If you want to use ‘su -’ to root, we should add the user to group ‘wheel’.

By default, root does not allow login with SSH, if you want to allow root login, you should modify ‘/etc/ssh/sshd_config’ as follow:

PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
AllowUsers root
