>Description:
The man page of 'pw' claims that both useradd and groupadd arguments accept the '-o' option, to override GUI or UID. This works fine with useradd, but not with groupadd.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to call 'pw groupadd' with -o:
luke at freebsd1(0) $ sudo pw groupadd group2 -g 125 -o
pw: illegal option -- o
pw: unknown switch
luke at freebsd1(64) $
The number in parens, 0 then 64, is $?; thus, pw is exiting with the code 64.
