Why this message came when i added user in group?

Hi all,

When I added one user in in this group hhs_gl6 following message got generated.



Code:
-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G hhs_gl6 vivek
UX: /usr/sbin/usermod: hhs_gl6 name should be all lower case or numeric.

However when I cheked the user in /etc/group file, the user vivek was added in hhs_gl6 group.

Please tell me will there be any issue because of this error which occurred?
I don't thing so, what all you say guys ...?

Thanks.
Manali

NAME
gpasswd - administer the /etc/group file SYNOPSIS
gpasswd group gpasswd -a user group gpasswd -d user group gpasswd -R group gpasswd -r group gpasswd [-A user,...] [-M user,...] group DESCRIPTION
gpasswd is used to administer the /etc/group file (and /etc/gshadow file if compiled with SHADOWGRP defined). Every group can have adminis- trators, members and a password. System administrator can use -A option to define group administrator(s) and -M option to define members and has all rights of group administrators and members. Group administrator can add and delete users using -a and -d options respectively. Administrators can use -r option to remove group pass- word. When no password is set only group members can use newgrp(1) to join the group. Option -R disables access to the group through new- grp(1) command. gpasswd called by a group administrator with group name only prompts for the group password. If password is set the members can still new- grp(1) without a password, non-members must supply the password. FILES
