   How did you create the group in Slackware? Manually editing /etc/group or   
   using the command groupadd?   
      
   I have never used groupadd, but I know that useradd will suggest a   
   default UID which basically will be the next free UID.   
      
   My guess is that you used groupadd and got a default next free GID or   
   mistyped the GID when manually editing /etc/group.
