Sorry, I didn't read what you said carefully enough -- it's trying to
create a system group. Still, looking inside of /etc/group to see what
system groups already exist is probably a good idea.

This is not exactly trivial to figure when there's no documentation
what the system group limits actually are. There's a very indirect
mention in the same man page, "Values between 0 and 999 are typically
reserved for system accounts.", but I bet that's just the usual case
of generic documentation not tailored to the distribution.

GIDs < 1000 have been std in all Unices for a long, long time. For an ordinary user, going above shouldn't be a problem. <chuckles> At work, a couple of years ago, we went to 7-digit user & gids.
