Handle groupadd in Ubuntu 24.04 #9502
Description
Use Case
Currently, the members attribute of Resource Type: group is not functioning in Ubuntu.
Starting from Ubuntu 24.04, the shadow package has been upgraded to 4.13: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow. This update allows the groupadd and groupmod commands to modify members in the same way that Puppet already uses for Fedora, as detailed here: #9346.
