I have found that ommiting the group's comma separated user  name list
seems to have no effect.

My question is what uses or looks at the username list appended to the
group line in the group file i.e.:

engr::500:bill,tom,jim
acct::600:
fact::700:

?

It looks to me that as long as bill, tom, and jim's password line
looks like:

bill:passwd:uid:500:Bill Jones:........

,then their group is assigned correctly and their group related stuff
works as it should even though the group file line does not contain
their userid's as in::

engr::500:

Thanks for any insight,
Scott
