Subject: Tests: Force creation of existing group using -f flag
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a67b8301f27bc514994d9594c5dec2457d0b4e69;p=thirdparty%2Fshadow.git

Tests: Force creation of existing group using -f flag

This is Python transformation of the test located in
'tests/grouptools/groupadd/06_groupadd_-f_add_existing_group/groupadd.test'
which checks that 'groupadd' completes successfully while force-creating
an existing group using -f flag
