<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I Have not tried groupadd yet I have only very limited experience with the 'usermod -G filename -a filename' etc. The Mate desktop is the desktop I have been using lately so it does actually have a nice gui user/group utility which I have used to add another user and a visitor account. 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.<br><br><pre>sudo adduser www-data video <--does www-data look like something that has to do with Apache to you?</pre><br><br>gobble gobble <br><br>Thanks for your time.<br><br>paul g,<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ryan.coleman@cwis.biz<br>Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2015 13:38:08 -0600<br>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Add Apache User to the Video Group?<br><br>So it’s in a *FILE*.<div><br></div><div>Typically that’s how *nix operates.</div><div><br></div><div>Have you tried “groupadd”?</div><div><br><div><blockquote><div>On Feb 1, 2015, at 1:33 PM, paul g <<a href="mailto:pj.world@hotmail.com">pj.world@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="ecxApple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">The video group is displayed if I type cat /etc/groups in terminal on my machine.

I was looking under /dev and you are most likely correct that hardware is only listed in that folder.
