The group renaming form 'slocate' to 'locate' should be done with:

# groupmod -n locate slocate

instead of:

# sed -i s/^slocate:/locate:/ /etc/group

As groupmod modifies both /etc/group and /etc/gshadow which should have
consistent information.

Yuri.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
# sed -i s/^slocate:/locate:/ /etc/group
# grep locate /etc/group  
locate:x:245:
# grep locate /etc/gshadow
slocate:::

Expected Results:  
# groupmod -n locate slocate
# grep locate /etc/group
locate:x:245:
# grep locate /etc/gshadow
locate:::
