Default New user setup in sam

Trying to add a new user and get this message: Failed to add the user "testuser". An invalid argument was supplied to an option in the command /usr/sam/lbin/useradd.sam". The output from this command was: '/man4/ACCOUNT' is not a valid directory. This account is valid because I can log into it with my id and go into screens etc.

I found that the group setting on the account was incorrect. Should have been users not sys.
