Jul 10, 2003 #3 crasho2001 Technical User Jun 13, 2002 51 TR Hi, I am not sure you can create read-only user. Each user will have at least "other" authorities. But you can disable existing group authorities for this user. Just create a new group(groupadd) and use -g option (you should check gid from /etc/group)at useradd command to set primary group for the new user. OR set new user primary group "other" , if "other" is not primary group for any of other users. Upvote 0 Downvote
