    The recent discussion about groupadd (and getent) had me wondering why groupadd
    didn't pick up the "next" available number the way the group add function inside
    the admintool did...

    So, I wrote a Perl script to do it for me.
    (See attached.)

    Does anyone know why admintool will give (in my case) 103 as the next groupid
    and groupadd gives 52225? I mean there are PLENTY of other numbers between 102
    and 50000 to choose from...

    ( I suppose in the grand scheme of things it wasn't that important. )

    Thx/Bill
