I have done a lot of research and keep coming up empty and the includes browsing books at B&N.
In both Ubuntu and Fedora there are many System Groups. I am looking for information to get a deep understanding of what happens when I create a user and add them to various specific groups.
In Windows this can get quite compilcated but there is much documentation on the subject.
I cannot seem to find out what rights go along with each group.
Also I would like to know how I can exploit groups so they are valuable. Other than adding a user to a group and giving that group read, write, execute permissions that filter down to group members I cannot see what else they are for.
For example if there is a group called backup operators then its members can backup files to devices.
