The group home is not a standard group in FreeBSD. Greg's book is simply showing an example. You might want to add a group, such as "users" before you add your actual users. When I initially started working with FreeBSD, I made my first user a member of the wheel group. That way I could log in and 'su' to do system operations and then exit back to a normal user. You need to at least make one user a member of wheel so you don't need to log in as root in order to perform system maintenance.
