Interesting info from 'strace'

1147  execve("/usr/local/bin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
1147  execve("/usr/bin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
1147  execve("/bin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
1147  execve("/usr/local/sbin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
1147  execve("/usr/sbin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
1147  execve("/sbin/ groupadd -r netdev", [" groupadd -r netdev"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

seems to be a problem with finding the 'groupadd' command?
