The groupadd from shadow does not allow upper case group names, the same is true for the upstream shadow. But distributions like Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS has their own way to cope with this problem, this patch is picked up from Fedora [1] to relax the usernames restrictions to allow the upper case group names, and the relaxation is POSIX compliant because POSIX indicate that usernames are composed of characters from the portable filename character set [A-Za-z0-9._-].

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
