Hello,

Is it possible with the adduser command to add a user to a new group ??
I use this command:

adduser -shell bash -group testje -batch test ' ' 'Test'

(The username and groupname are dummy names)

But this command don't create the new group. Is this possible with the
adduser command to create a new group ?? And with which command can I
create a new group to my system. I have read several books, but I can't
find nothing about creating new groups. 

Can anybody help me ??

	Wouter
