#useradd -G root administrator
useradd: user 'administrator' already exists

Is the user already in an external database?

From "man adduser":

***
CAVEATS
You may not add a user to a NIS or LDAP group. This must be performed on
the corresponding server.

Similarly, if the username already exists in an external user database
such as NIS or LDAP, useradd will deny the user account creation request.
***

In addition, if the user "administrator" already exists locally, you have
to use "usermod" instead.

Note: adding a user to the root's group can be dangerous.


Thanks for the informative email, however administrator is me so thats
the reason i added that.

Thanks any ways,
