Hi Rick
The groupadd(8) package is not in the man-pages set. See
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/man_pages_other.html
Cheers,
Michael

Hello,
Whilst looking through the man page GROUPADD(8), there is information missing from the 'Caveats' section in the sentence "Groupnames may only be up to characters long." I believe the 32 is missing.
I could not find the man pages version using the instructions at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/what_version.html resulted in:
# rpm -qf $(man -w 8 groupadd) file /usr/man/cat8/groupadd.8.xz is not owned by any package error: file /home/rick/(<--: No such file or directory error: file /usr/man/man8/groupadd.8.gz): No such file or directoryA quick Google search wasn't very helpful either.
The system is Slackware 13.37.0 and has recently been updated using 'slackpkg'.
Linux flexo 2.6.37.6-smp #2 SMP Sat Apr 9 23:39:07 CDT 2011 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to test or try.
