[Solved] Create user with home directory in a group

hi,

im trying to learn how to use the cli and one thing i saw a while is have a home directory like /home/group/user i try to create manually but when i log in in xfce the login manager say that i dont have a home directory.
so any way to do this via command line?

im using debian in virtual machine.
and when i saw the /etc/adduser.conf i saw a line that say grouphome but i prefer to know how to manually

Re: [Solved] Create user with home directory in a group

useradd -m -d /home/group/user user

To change homedir for an existing user:

usermod -m -d /home/group/user user

Use LVM2!
