The group Kickstart command is optional. It creates a new user group on the system.

Syntax

              group --name=name [--gid=gid]
            

Mandatory options

• --name= - Provides the name of the group.

Optional options

• --gid= - The group’s GID. If not provided, defaults to the next available non-system GID.

Notes

• If a group with the given name or GID already exists, this command fails.
• The user command can be used to create a new group for the newly created user.
