Adding new groups!!
I want to know how we can add a new group in solaris. As per my understanding this is done by adding a new entry in /etc/groups file (or by using groupadd command which will also add the entry in the groups file). But when I use group command to see the groups to which I belong, it shows my userid is a part of mqm group, but there is no entry for mqm in /etc/groups file. Am I missing something???

NAME
groups - print group membership of user

of the group. The groups command converts gid to the group name in the output.
EXAMPLES
The output takes the following form:
example% groups tester01 tester02
tester01 : staff
tester02 : staff
example%
FILES
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
