2493	append group instead of replacing current ones	adrian	thomas	"In ""Setting up a Subversion Server"" (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/svnserver.html) in section 1 ""Setup Users, Groups, and Permissions"" the command to add the svn user to the group svntest is:

usermod -G svntest svn

which replaces svn user's current groups with group svntest. In my opinion it should be:

usermod -G svntest -a svn

which appends svntest to its groups. This change is ""important"" because the document is intended for multiple repositories so svn user shall be added to multiple groups.

I have to say that i'm quite new to linux so i'm not sure 100% this is correct, but i have already lost my sudo privileges with this command :)

a big thank you for your hard work it's very useful!"	defect	closed	normal	6.3	BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed	append group instead replacing
