addgroup

addgroup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       addgroup(8)

NAME

       addgroup - Adds a new group interactively

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/addgroup

DESCRIPTION

								      Security Note

       If  you	have  enhanced security installed on your system, you should use the dxaccounts program to add a group. See Security and the dxac-
       counts(8) reference page for more information.

       The addgroup command is an interactive program for adding new groups to the /etc/group file.  The program prompts you for specific informa-
       tion and informs you of its activity and error conditions.

       Only the superuser can execute this command.

       The  program  performs the following tasks: Queries for a new group name.  The default can be chosen by pressing the Return key, which will
       cause the program to exit without adding a new group.  Enter the new group name, 8 characters or less, or Return to exit.  If the new group
       entered	already  exists in the /etc/group file, the program informs you of this and cycles back to the query for a new group name.  If the
       new group entered does not already exist, the program continues.  Queries for a group number (GID) for the new group.  A default GID, which
       is based on previously existing GID's in the /etc/group file, is displayed and can be selected by pressing the Return key.  Enter a new GID
       or accept the default.  If the new GID entered already exists in the /etc/group file, the program informs you of this and  cycles  back	to
       the  query  for	a new group number (GID).  If the new GID entered does not already exist in the /etc/group file, the program uses this GID
       and adds the new group to the /etc/group file.

       At this point, the program ends.

       This interface has been superseded by the groupadd command-line interface, and the Account Manager (dxaccounts) graphical user interface.

RESTRICTIONS

       The group name is limited to eight characters.

EXAMPLES

       Enter a new group name or <Return> to exit: newgroup Enter a new group number [112]:

FILES

       Specifies the command path.  Group file Lock file
