FWIW, it was kind of a PITA to set up dialup in a secure way for |
| 52 |
multiple users to use with traditional UNIX permissioning. The |
| 53 |
reorganization of groups, if it deals with that ugliness (visit |
| 54 |

| 55 |
to see for yourself what I mean) I say, it's worth a bit of |
| 56 |
reorganization of users. |
