What I see here is that you are using commands specific to your OS, OS I dont use but what I see here is You did not give a GID, and I see no reason why thisOS would act differently to other UNIX, so not giving a GID the system will choose the next free value for you.
Now this can be a problem because you are to put 2 person in the same group but on 2 separate servers, meaning both servers should have in /etc/group a line with that group name and SAME GID, the logical way of creating such groups would be to connect on all concerned servers to see what is in /etc/group in order to choose a GID unused...
Ok, let me explain in a better way. There isn't a certain OS that I was asked to use, I just use RedHat because I enjoy it. It's not different than any Linux, of course.

I have thought of another way which is, can I create the group, then create the two users, while giving them the group's name as I'm creating them as such:

Code:
 useradd -G Example Lanson

# passwd Lanson1

# id Lanson

Would that be any better?

All files created by Levette to have a default mask of 744
I believe what mask 744 does, is not of concern. Because, the question did not say it needed it to do x,y, and z. It just asked me to make his default mask 744.

I will be looking at the umask man pages. Thanks.

c) We might have to discuss on this one ( how would the users connect - telnet login ssh? important to know what to do after...)
Yes, thank you. I thought about making an SSH but then I couldn't manage to do the setup, or write the codes. I've been trying to do it for a week now.

group

GROUP(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  GROUP(5)

NAME

       group - user group file

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system.  There is one entry per line, with the following format:

	      group_name:password:GID:user_list

       The fields are as follows:

       group_name  the name of the group.

       password    the (encrypted) group password.  If this field is empty, no password is needed.

       GID	   the numeric group ID.

       user_list   a list of the usernames that are members of this group, separated by commas.

FILES

       /etc/group

BUGS

       As the 4.2BSD initgroups(3) man page says: No-one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
