So, after trying various man attempts, I finally tried re-reading man adduser. At the bottom of man adduser, in the "SEE ALSO" section, they make reference to the commands: addgroup rmgroup which apparently no longer have man pages. I tried to do some digging, and came to the conclusion that the commands disappeared between v.2.2.5 and 2.2.6, yet nothing seems to be mentioned in the release notes for those versions. Is there now A Better Way to do add/remove/modify groups? Is that the concept behind pw (8)?
