.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The \fBgroupadd\fR command
|
||
|
|
creates a new group account using the values specified on the
|
||
|
|
command line and the default values from the system.
|
||
|
|
The new group will be entered into the system files as needed.
|
||
|
|
The options which apply to the \fBgroupadd\fR command are
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB-g \fIgid\fR"
|
||
|
|
The numerical value of the group's ID.
|
||
|
|
This value must be unique, unless the \fB-o\fR option is used.
|
||
|
|
The value must be non-negative.
|
||
|
|
The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than 99 and
|
||
|
|
greater than every other group.
|
||
|
|
Values between 0 and 99 are typically reserved for system accounts.
