To Create the Appropriate UNIX User and Group

1. Log in as superuser.

2. Create a group to which your system user will belong.

   For example, to create a group named imgroup on Solaris, type the following:

   # groupadd imgroup

3. Create the system user and associate it with the group you just created and associate it with the group you just created. In addition, set the password for that user.

   For example, to create a user named imuser and associate it with the group imgroup on Solaris, type the following:

   # useradd -g imgroup imuser

   For more information on adding users and groups, refer to your operating system documentation.

4. Ensure that the user and group have been added to the /etc/groups file.
