Fedora directory users - Aug 2005 - proper procedure to add a unix group

Hi, all.  This is probably a dumb question but how do
I add a group?  Simply adding a group thru the UI
doesn''t allow one to specify a GID.  I tried adding an
object type "OTHER" and selecting posixGroup.  That
seemed to have worked, is that how this is to be done?
 Because under company name aci, it shows up with gid
number, NOT the group name which is kind of ugly.

Thank you.

And how would groupadd add it to the FDS database?

Right.  A console "group" is a groupOfUniqueNames.  A posixGroup is a 
unix /etc/groups replacement group.
