Oh, I can figure out what I need to do, that's not the problem.  I've
been using UNIX in various forms for 19 years (ouch!! :)).

I was just hoping someone had a list we could start with, but I guess
we'll roll our own.

It's especially not trivial because of the 16 group limit: we already
have a lot of users who are creeping up on that limit just for work
purposes: adding a lot of extra groups for sysadmin purposes isn't going
to make matters any better :-/.
