Sorry, my reading of the man page was too quick!! thank you all Adam answer: man page on groupadd documents -o which allows the group to be duplicated. e.g.: groupadd -g 1010 -o students ---------- original question ---------- I get this error: > WARNING: Group entry exceeds 512 char: /etc/group entry truncated. I have found on archives this solution, but I am unable to add a new group with the same id: >Create a new group with a different name but with the same numeric group ID. >(The number is actually the only thing that identifies the group.) Add other >users to the new group. I get: UX: groupadd: ERROR: 8 is already in use.
