The remotebackup user could not be created using the shell because it was not possible to add the user to groups, change the password or specify a UID upon creation of the user. The user was not recognized by the system. |
Create the backup group in the command line and give it the GID of 34 to follow the ubuntu standard

addgroup -g 34 backup |
Next add the remotebackup user by editing the /etc/group file
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
vi /etc/group
backup:x:34:remotebackup |
Now we change the UID to 3001 following bonsaiframework standard and give shell access for remotebackup by editing the /etc/passwd file but do not forget to backup first
