How to Add an Existing User to an Existing Group

Command

/usr/sbin/usermod -G adm www-data

Purpose

My purpose of adding www-data to adm was so that www-data could read the web logs. Caution: you may not want to be this liberal.

NOTE: I had to restart the apache server before the cgi script was aware of the permission changes that enabled it to read the log file.
