Description

Found this on customer deployment. LDAP group exists for nagios.

#] getent group nagios
nagios:*:nagios

Deploy fails with error *"groupmod nagios" not present in /etc/group*

1) Provide an Misc > Advanced option during install giving people the option
to skip group modifications (basically, don't call groupmod)

[ ] Skip group modifications during install

2) Make sure the error when groupmod fails is clear in the Ambari logs (and
Ambari Web UI) so that folks know groupmod failed, and that a way to get
around this is to check the option in Misc > Advanced to skip groupmod.
