Yes, fine for me. 

I reworded the paragraph a bit, to make Stuart happy:
(But the old one is good enough)

Julianne Frances Haugh, the original author of shadow-utils,
reminded us that there are no group write APIs. To change
the group database, use the system adminstration commands 
groupadd(1), groupdel(1), groupmod(1) instead of API calls.
Use the usermod(1) command to add or remove a user to/from 
supplementary groups.

Do not change a present group database file directly.
