Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how to do so properly
either with the command line or editing the /etc/group file, to add
group A to group B such that all users of group A at any given moment
are also users of group B?
For example, joe, tina, and admin belong to the group called
"administrators", while jane and sam are members of "dialout". I want
jan and sam to remain members of "dialout", while adding all members of
"administrators" to also be members of "dialout". Furthermore, six
months from now when diego becomes a new "adminstrator" I want him to
automatically become a member of "dialout", and he will be replacing
joe, so when I remove joe from "adminsitrators" I want him to be
automatically removed from "dialout".
Thus, I want the group "administrators" to be a member of the group
"dialout". Is this possible? (I'm not interested in tricky gui tools
to do this for me.)
