>Description:
When attempting to delete a user added with useradd:
userdel: group users not found
A quick look shows that users is referenced in /etc/usermgmt.conf, but is
not in my group file. However, the user I was attempting to delete is
not a member of this group.

>How-To-Repeat:
pull users out of the group file, and attempt to delete *any* group.
>Fix:
dunno. It shouldn't care if users exists or not if it's killing a user
that isn't even in that group.
