groupadd -R problem



Hallo,

How do u add a group with --root or -R option?
the error message doesn't seem to make sense.

This is an example:

ROOT@debian:/tmp# mkdir /blabla
ROOT@debian:/tmp# groupadd -R /blabla testChroot
groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later.
ROOT@debian:/tmp# groupadd testChroot

without the -R option just works..

mvg,
Wim
