ADD GROUP Command
alphabetic or numeric. The group-name must not already exist as a administrative 
group name. 
NUMBER group-num
specifies the numeric ID of the group to be added to the system. The group-num 
is a number from 0 through 65535. It must be unique within the local system. 
group-num must not already exist as an administrative group number. 
group-attribute
defines a group attribute value for the group being added. (Default values are used 
for any attributes not specified in the ADD GROUP command.)
The group attributes are:
OWNER [ owner-id ]
MEMBER member-list 
DESCRIPTION [ text ]
OWNER [owner-id]
specifies the owner of a group record. For owner-id, specify either of:
[\*.]group-name.member-name
[\*.]group-num , member-num
If you omit owner-id, your user ID becomes the current owner-id.
MEMBER member-list
specifies users who are granted membership in this group. member-list can 
be either of:
 net-user-spec
( net-user-spec [ , net-user-spec ...] )
net-user-spec can be either of:
alias
group-name.member-name
The group number,member number form of a user ID is not allowed in a 
MEMBER list.
Note. If you want to define a group that can be subsequently used as an administrative 
group, the group name and group number must meet the syntactical requirements for 
administrative groups:
•
The group name must be from one to eight alphabetic or numeric characters, the first 
of which must be alphabetic. Because the ADD GROUP command recognizes the 
case of alphabetic characters, the alphabetic characters in an administrative group 
name must be entered in uppercase. 
•
The group number for an administrative group must be from 0 through 255.
