Thanks.

Unfortunately, I already modified the /etc/group file by hand, but I prefer
the command way, as it is less prone to human error. For example, did you
know that in addition to the admin group, there is also an adm group... :)

What is the command line way to remove user from a group? Does not seem to
find it.
