I've recently upgraded our dialup account management server from 2.2.6 to
4.0 (yeah, quite a jump, and I'm VERY happy with 4.0).

Today I've noticed a problem. I cannot change group id's with the `pw
usermod` command anymore. In fact, pw is failing on all my other 4.0 boxen
too.


real life example:

perch:/root grep mharsh /etc/passwd
mharsh:*:4521:100:Mike Harshbarger:/home/mharsh:/bin/bash

perch:/root pw usermod mharsh -g 198
[long pause, like it's actually doing something]

perch:/root grep mharsh /etc/passwd
mharsh:*:4521:100:Mike Harshbarger:/home/mharsh:/bin/bash

And I'm still in group 100 instead of 198.


Any help would be appreciated... vipw is quickly becoming a pain in the
arse. :) As a side note, the -g option used with `pw useradd` works okay.
