groupadd :: Command not found

Hi, everybody
Instructions on installing mysql in freebsd insist on using #groupadd command. I tried it on freebsd-6.0. just to get this response "Command not found".
Is there any way round?

if whereis and find doesn't work, then:
Code:
which groupadd
or
Code:
whence groupadd
and as a final resort:
Code:
locate groupadd

dear helpers,

all of the commands you proposed were tried with a monotonous result :Command not found or :No such file or directory.
I suspect the groupadd command is from Linux and mistakingly replicated by site-keepers in the net.
But then - how can a dummy deploy mysql on freebsd?

Try to manualy edit the /etc/group file. Open it with an text editor and add a new record to match your needs. Be careful on the group id field (third field) to be unique on that file.

Dear Sergiu-IT,
thanks for your help.
Following your instructions I fine the "group" file and edited it as you recommended.
So there are workarounds where there are techies.
