Ah - have read the upstream post now, and understand that this is about adding users to groups based on whether they're already a member of another group. That doesn't make sense to me, frankly; I think it makes more sense to grant the *original* group access to the resources on the system. So I'm not inclined to take this patch before it's been applied upstream. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
