📘 Linux Lab#LI03-1: Manage users and groups

• Use the /etc/skel directory to define profile settings before adding any user accounts.
• Set password and account expirations using the /etc/login.defs file before adding any user accounts. Use the following password requirements:
  • Passwords should expire after 90 days, with a five-day warning period.
• Use the command line to create five user accounts to use in later activities. You will experiment with permissions and ownership by using these accounts. Give each user a unique name but set them all with the same password (for your own sanity).
• Use the command line to create five groups based on fictitious departments: sales, marketing, human resources, IT, engineering. Place one user from above into each group.
• Delegate the ability to reboot the system to only one user by using sudo.
