Hello,
I forgot to mention that I also tried the following format
without success:
groupadd -g 999888 gggXXX
I tried this on another system with RedHar 4.2 installation
and it works.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Kumar

Groupnames must begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, and
only lower case letters, underscores, dashes, and dollar signs may
follow. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]
