Description of problem: The groupadd(8) man page says that: --- Groupnames must begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, and only lower case letters, underscores, dashes, and dollar signs may follow. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$] --- but it's perfectly possible to add groups like "Foo", "foo.bar" or "FOO". The statement "Groupnames may only be up to 16 characters long. " is wrong, the limit is 32 characters. This statement is also included twice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0.18.1-15 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man groupadd
