No man pages


Hi ,
When I run mkpasswd -l, I have the same entries as in my /etc/passwd
and when I run mkgroup -l, I have the same entries as in my /etc/group.
But I have no "mkpasswd" group defined in /etc/group. Does it matter anyway? What typical group do you have on a local user? Can we add a group other than manually in /etc/group (like with with an system admin tool)?
