groupadd :: Command not found
Hi, everybody
Instructions on installing mysql in freebsd insist on using #groupadd command. I tried it on freebsd-6.0. just to get this response "Command not found".
Is there any way round?

Try...
whereis groupadd

or use find command to locate the file..

if whereis and find doesn't work, then:
Code:
which groupadd

or
Code:
whence groupadd

and as a final resort:
Code:
locate groupadd

dear helpers,

all of the commands you proposed were tried with a monotonous result :Command not found or :No such file or directory.
I suspect the groupadd command is from Linux and mistakingly replicated by site-keepers in the net.
But then - how can a dummy deploy mysql on freebsd?

Try to manualy edit the /etc/group file. Open it with an text editor and add a new record to match your needs. Be careful on the group id field (third field) to be unique on that file.

Dear Sergiu-IT,
thanks for your help.
Following your instructions I fine the "group" file and edited it as you recommended.
So there are workarounds where there are techies.

you can also try:
# find / -name "groupadd"
