Re: shorten lines

moin moin Mike,

useradd has an option for adding multiple groups, but you probably need to
specify to make a home directory and bash for the default shell.

sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash -Gaudio,video,input,dialout,plugdev,tty pi

Looks like adduser might be able to do it in one go if you use
--add_extra_groups.

Or, you can add the user, then use usermod to add the extra groups. This
probably works best for you based on what you were doing.

sudo adduser pi
sudo usermod -a -Gaudio,video,input,dialout,plugdev,tty pi

In all cases, check syntax as I didn't verify the command lines I wrote up
work as is :).

ciao,
