I disagree with the expected behavior. This should fail, as it does, but the message should probably read "A user or group with the same name or UID already exists"

Lowering priority as this is an error message bug, not a functionality bug.

although trival - I think it would benefit the admin to understand what the issue is so they can correct it ... similar to the shadow utils:

[root@localhost home]# groupadd test
[root@localhost home]# useradd test
useradd: group test exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g.

after chatting with sgallagh about the existence of user private groups, agree that the current error message is the best message to provide to an admin in this situation. closing issue as resolved.
