I am trying to add a use to wheel group using in a Ubuntu server.
sudo usermod -aG wheel john
I get:
usermod: group 'wheel' does not exist
On my /etc/sudoers I have this:
>  cat /etc/sudoers
> # sudoers file.
> #
> # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
> #
> # See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.

> 
>     %wheel  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Do I have to do groupadd of wheel?
