Description Ulf Bartelt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-28 15:24:31 UTC 
usermod --help explains -a as option with an argument, which is wrong.

The manpage is right about -a.

Version: shadow-4.0.15-r2
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-28 23:29:47 UTC 
-a, --append			append the user to the supplemental GROUPS
				(use only with -G)

shadow-4.0.18.1
