site grpadd

Description

Allows site operators to add a new group to the server. The new group will be given a home directory equal to the default_home directory specified in your primary group. If this value is not valid, your default home directory will be used instead. Note that no other group settings will be changed and therefore you will have to manually update them after creating the group.
