 And what that one-time override would be ?
 "" ? Impossible, it has to be a valid group (it goes to /etc/passwd).
 # pw useradd moo4
 # pw useradd moo5 -g nobody
 # pw useradd moo6 -g moo6
 pw: group `moo6' does not exist
 # pw useradd moo7 -g ""
 pw: group `' is not defined
 # grep -i moo /etc/passwd
 moo4:*:1003:1003:User &:/home/moo4:/bin/sh
 moo5:*:1004:65534:User &:/home/moo5:/bin/sh
