** Description changed: I would suggest the similarly with the way we alias rm with `rm -i` we either change the usermod to give warning before removing all the users groups since this is an issue that can't be undone. I my self almost removed my self from the admin group because of forgetting the "-a" since ubuntu prefers sudo command. I would not have been able to add my self back to all my groups (Provided I remembered them all). I know this was my own stupidity and luckily I was able to resolve it but others might not be so lucky and would require booting into a live cd. + + edit: + Forgot to mention my system + Linux gizmo 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 20:27:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux + Ubuntu 8.04
