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.
