Rename user's group name
I just did usermod -l login-name old-name
to change the username, but the group name is still the old one.
Any way of renaming the group name? I can't find any info to do so.
groupmod
should work fine:
$ groupmod --help
Usage: groupmod [options] GROUP
Options:
-g, --gid GID change the group ID to GID
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-n, --new-name NEW_GROUP change the name to NEW_GROUP
-o, --non-unique allow to use a duplicate (non-unique) GID
-p, --password PASSWORD change the password to this (encrypted)
PASSWORD
Use it like this:
groupmod --new-name NEW_GROUP_NAME OLD_GROUP_NAME
To reNAME as you asked:sudo groupmod -n new-name current-name
Note: If the name is already in use but you want to use it anyway:sudo groupmod -o -n new-name current-name
If you are root you don't need to use sudo
