>Description:
Man page for "pw" indicates that -g "" is an acceptable option:

     -g group      Set the default group for new users.  If a blank group is
                   specified using -g "", then new users will be allocated
                   their own private primary group with the same name as their
                   login name.  If a group is supplied, either its name or uid
                   may be given as an argument.

However, attempting to do that produces an error:

# pw useradd moo -g ""
pw: group `' is not defined

>How-To-Repeat:
pw useradd moo -g ""
