NOTES
      The groupdel utility only deletes a group definition that is
      in  the local /etc/group file. If a network nameservice such
      as NIS or  NIS+  is  being  used  to  supplement  the  local
      /etc/group  file  with  additional  entries, groupdel cannot
      change information supplied by the network nameservice.
