Greetings.  This -should- be trivial.

I am going through "Introduction to Operating Systems Abstractions", which you 
can find easy online.  On page 68, section 3.5, it gives a code to change the 
group of a file.  The code works, in a manner of speaking.  If I try to change 
the group of the file to something "legal", it works.  The problem is, the 
group it changes the file to, "planb", is not a group on my system.  I'm using 
9legacy on qemu.

The internet has helped me find /adm/users , and I have used it to add "planb". 
 [planb:planb::glenda]  However, having done that, saved, and verified that the 
new group is there, using cat, the program still fails to work.  "unknown gid".

more specifically: 

chgrp: wstat: wstat -- unknown gid

Nothing critical here, just trying to be systematic in learning the new system. 
 Help appreciated.
