>Description:
The usermod(8) manpage talks about the `gid' field in the /etc/usermgmt.conf file where it should really name it the `group' field.

When making a patch for this, an additional (and slightly related) minor error was found in the usermgmt.conf(5) manpage. The sentence can be completed with the corresponding sentence from the usermod(8) manpage as an example; see patch below.
>How-To-Repeat:
"man 8 usermod"; "man 5 usermgmt.conf"; search for the appropriate sections (see patches below).
>Fix:
Apply the following patches.
