Description ferret 2005-05-15 21:33:13 UTC

After installing games, I see the message:

* Remember, in order to play games, you have to be in the 'games' group.
* See the usermod(8) manpage for more information.

If I go look at the man page, and use what looks like the right command
usermod -G username games

I might then be slightly annoyed to find that user can no longer su, listen to
music etc. because they're now only in the games and users groups.  I think the
message should actually say

* Remember, in order to play games, you have to be in the 'games' group.
* See the -a option in the gpasswd(1) manpage for more information.
