Google is your friend.

We’re not a reference librarian - nor a search engine for you. Please use groupadd(8).

I will have to research more about 'groupadd'.  So basically I would be adding Appache to the video group that's what it looks like so far on my end. Thank you for reminding me about the groupadd command I know it is similar to the usermod command but definitely not the same. I have used the usermod -G command to add or append existing groups to one another in the past but that is about as far as my experience goes. In the article I was reading they have the following line.

sudo adduser www-data video <--does www-data look like something that has to do with Apache to you?

Thanks for your time.

So it’s in a *FILE*.
Typically that’s how *nix operates.
Have you tried “groupadd”?

So if I install or activate Appache webserver my need would be to apparently usermod appache saned . I was looking under /dev and you are most likely correct that hardware is only listed in that folder. I don't know what to expect with Appache yet as my experience overall is very limited.

I use webmin for my basic user management (but I don’t use a GUI).I don’t ever remember seeing usergroups in /dev/ so it must be an idiosyncrasies with your choice of platform.

If I open gui user settings within the desky top,  ya I can see 'video' group but no 'video' group shows up under /dev yet.

Gobble Gobble.
