NOTES

       The  groupdel utility only deletes a group definition that is in the local /etc/group file. If a network nameservice such as NIS or NIS+ is
       being used to supplement the local /etc/group file with additional entries, groupdel cannot change  information	supplied  by  the  network
       nameservice.
