Hello Sigbjorn, it is not common to manually specify GID. Can you please tell me what's your use case for doing that? Maybe I can help with a proper way to do that. In your case, GID was set to UID because it's the GID of User Private Group "mysql14" which was automatically associated with the user "mysql14".
