>Description:
'pw groupmod www -g 12345' is expected to change the GID of www in /etc/group from 80 to 12345 like it does in 9.2-RELEASE, but instead it will create another duplicate of the www group with the new GID, causing conflicting information. It can happen more than once.
>How-To-Repeat:
# grep www /etc/group
www:*:80
# pw groupmod www -g 12345
# grep www /etc/group
www:*:80:
www:*:12345:
