If you need to create some new system groups, and you want to use addgroup, here’s how to create system groups with addgroup:

# addgroup —system
newsysgroup

You can assign the GID, overriding the default. Remember to stick with your distribution’s (or your personal) numbering scheme:

# addgroup —system —gid 300
newsysgroup
