This parameter sets the beginning of the group numbers used in
the /etc/group file. The particular value 999
- comes from the --gid parameter above.
- You can modify it to anything you desire. Note that
- useradd will never reuse a UID or GID. If the
- number identified in this parameter is used, it will use the next
- available number after this. Note also that if you don't have a
- group with an ID equal to this number on your system the first
- time you use useradd
- without the -g parameter, you'll get a message
- displayed on the terminal that says:
- useradd: unknown GID 999, although
- the account is correctly created. That is
- why we have earlier created the group
