Usermod

Once a user is created various setting may need to be updated or changed. This is done with the usermod command.

usermod -e 2013-06-08 <username> #change the expiration date
usermod -G <group> <username> #add user to group
-aG <group> appends to exisiting group
-l <new username> set new username
-L Lock Password
-U Unlock Password

Groupmod

The groupmod command only as two practical uses: change the group ID or change the group name.

groupmod -g <newid> <groupname>
groupmod <oldname> <newname> #chnage the grouop name
