# getent group ntp ntp:x:107: > Can you run it without the --quiet option? # addgroup --system ntp ; echo $? addgroup: The group `ntp' already exists and is not a system group. Exiting. 1 Hmmm... # grep '^FIRST_SYSTEM' /etc/adduser.conf FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=123 FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=123 Sorry I forgot about that, a few years ago I was juggling a bunch of Xen guests, trying to keep system passwd and group entries in sync for a handful of common daemons and manually bumping adduser.conf.
