Hi. This is on Fedora Core 6 platform.
From the man page for:
System Management Commands 06/24/2006 GROUPMOD(8)
*snip*
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the groupmod command are:
-g gid The numerical value of the group's ID. This
value must be unique, unless the -o option is
used. The value must be non-negative. Values
between 0 and 999 are typically reserved for
system groups. Any files which the old group
ID is the file group ID must have the file group
ID changed manually.
-n new_group_name The name of the group will be changed
from 'group' to 'new_group_name'.
*snip*
That seems a bit unclear to me. Do you think it would be
easier put across like this:

system groups.
For any files that belonged to the old 'group', the GID must
be changed manually to 'new_group_name', to keep those files
(and directories) as members of 'new_group_name'. This can
be done manually with a root user command, such as:
#chgrp -R new_group_name directory_target
which should recursively change all files and
sub-directories to new_group_name in directory_target.
Please see the chgrp man pages for full details.
