Do you have some directory services (e.g. openldap, NIS, AD) that already has this group created?  If so and if your new node doesn't have admin rights, you're going to get this.

Does anyone know why the group resource would not create the group.   The error keeps coming back saying groupmod cannot find the group.    I would have thought that it would have used groupadd.

 

Here is the snippet from the recipe..

group "abc123" do

  gid 405

  action :create

end

error -> line 55) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::Exec: groupmod userroot returned 10, expected 0  

 

Error 10 says group does not exist, well I am trying to create it.   What am I doing wrong.??
