    Unhappy Can't get groupadd to work

    I tried to create a group. I did like this,

    groupadd webteam

    bash said the command not found. Oddly, there is man page for groupadd, etc. I went to sites for find info on groupadd and even read the books. I tried to follow theirs and it didn't work either. What did I do wrong?

    Are you doing this as root?

    su -
    <password>

    groupadd webteam

    or

    /usr/sbin/groupadd webteam
