There is no guarantee that the group database returned on unix system is complete. It is typically cut short when LDAP directories are configured for bigger network setups. This makes it tricky to find a nonexistent group id by looking at the group database. This changes the test to pick a nonexistent gid within gid 1-99 which are typically static assigned and not managed by network directory systems. Also pick a group name that is extremely likely to not exist instead of modifying the name of the first group in the database. skip news

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Would not be simpler to generate a random name? If by accident it matches existing name, we can repeat in loop.
