error when using useradd -G option

807559Mar 24 2005 — edited Mar 25 2005
When I try to add a user with -G option, system return an error:
UX: useradd: ERROR: Cannot update system files - login cannot be modified.

I try with usermod -G, same error is returned.
group file is rw for root.

I have tried in Solaris 8 and 9, useradd with -G return with same error msg.

Is this a bug?

Please advise.

Thanks very much in advance!
