It's still usermod (probably! I haven't used HPUX in a long time, but there is a man page for usermod that indicates we're onto something here).

Check the man page.

On Red Hat, I just ran:
Code:
# usermod -G gdm root

# id root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),42(gdm)  ...

The usage might not be the same on HP, which is why you should read the manual page.
