Description

in wrlinux 6, it is not possible to add groups with uppercase names, as follows:

Wind River Linux 6.0.0.13 qemu0 console

qemu0 login: root
Password: 
root@qemu0:~# groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE 
groupadd: 'PIETJE' is not a valid group name
root@qemu0:~# groupadd -g 1234 pietje
root@qemu0:~# 

in wrlinux 4.x this was possible

Wind River Linux glibc_std (standard) 4.3
 
root@localhost:/root> groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE 
root@localhost:/root> 

Steps to Reproduce

1. configure & build a project based on:

--enable-board=qemux86 --enable-rootfs=glibc_std --enable-kernel=standard --enable-parallel-pkgbuilds=9 --enable-jobs=9 --enable-reconfig --enable-stand-alone-project=yes --enable-checkout-all-layers

2. boot the qemu machine and try:

groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE
