This will not work! At least not for RedHat 8, and every other Unix
variant I've worked with ... granted, that's only been a dozen or so ...
(1) /etc/group entries must have 4 fields:
groupname:gpasswd:gid:[user1[,user2]]
(2) It only accepts lists of users, not groupnames in the last field.
Use grpck(8) to verify your changes!
