In that case get the group information using the new name. Fix a regression in pw usermod -G list The user was perperly adding the to different groups from "list" but was not removed from the other groups it could have belong to. Do not delete the group wheel when bad argument is passed to pw groupdel -g Check that the -g argument is actually a number, if not report an error. This argument is converted without checking with atoi(3) later so without this check it converts any alpha entries into 0 meaning it deletes the group wheel Ensure pw userdel -u <invalid> do not try to remove root Check the uid passed is actually a number as early as possible Fix renaming a group via the gr_copy function Add a regression test to pw(8) because the bug was discovered via using: pw groupmod PR: 193704 [1], 185666 [2], 90114 [3], 187189 [4] Submitted by: Marc de la Gueronniere [4] Reported by: az [1], sub.mesa@gmail.com [2], bkoenig@cs.tu-berlin.de [3], mcdouga9@egr.msu.edu [4] Changes: _U stable/10/ stable/10/etc/mtree/BSD.tests.dist stable/10/lib/libutil/gr_util.c stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/Makefile stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/pw_group.c stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/tests/ stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/tests/Makefile stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/tests/pw_delete.sh stable/10/usr.sbin/pw/tests/pw_modify.sh
