We show that by translating the problem in terms of derivations, the result can be deduced from the case where G is metabelian. Here one can use a general result of Caranti and Scoppola concerning automorphisms of two-generator, nilpotent metabelian groups.8 pagesGroup Theory20D15; 20D45Automorphisms of p-groups of maximal classtext
