Hi all,
I'm getting this error when trying to add a new user to staff group.
I fixed this issue before, but I forgot how I did it. Please advise.
tc@box:~$ sudo adduser -G staff test
adduser: user 'test' in use
tc@box:~$
tc@box:~$ cat /etc/group | grep staff
staff:x:50:
tc@box:~$

Hi Adam
Maybe commands can't be used as user names?

Thanks Rich.
I've already tried other user names ... getting the same error too. Any idea?
tc@box:~$ sudo adduser newuser
Changing password for newuser
New password:
Bad password: too short
Retype password:
Password for newuser changed by root
tc@box:~$ sudo adduser -G staff newuser
adduser: user 'newuser' in use
tc@box:~$

Hi Adam
It looks like you are adding the same user twice. Try deleting newuser and then go straight to:
sudo adduser -G staff newuser

Oh, yeah .... I overlooked that.
Thanks Rich, I appreciate that. Problem solved :)
