usermod ?

[Tuche]

Greetings,

i am in need of some help.

I am no linux expert, but i know a bit, so i need usermod in my remote Debian server, first i thought it should be installed by default, but it is not.

So, i tried to install, sudo apt-get install usermod

This package does not exist . . .

Then i tried,

Code: Select all

YY@XXXX:~$ apt-cache search usermod
cpu - a console based LDAP user management tool
e2fslibs - ext2 filesystem libraries
e2fslibs-dev - ext2 filesystem libraries - headers and static libraries
qbrew - Homebrewer's recipe calculator (uses Qt)
YY@XXXX:~$

Which does not list anything usermod related . . .

Can some1 give me a hand here please ?

It's already installed (or at least it should be).
use su instead of sudo and you'll find it

or, if you insist on using sudo (which is not recommended) try
sudo /usr/sbin/usermod

[kabniel]

fyi, usermod is part of the passwd package

su to root and then you'll be able to use usermod.
You can't actually use sudo in debian unless you set it up. Grow up an use su.
sudo has it's places, and it is not getting root access to the entire system. (the way ubuntu and MacOSX use it...)

Yes, that did the trick hehe

sorry for "dumb" question (there is no dumb question )
