The benefit of using unix groups is that there is a defined set of tools
provided to handle user groups. This makes life much easier. Moreover
I do not know any *practical* limit of the number of groups which a user
can belong.
Moreover it might happen that we completely rethink because of the upcoming
new menu system which (hopefully soon) implements some roles mechanism
which is in fact better than our first attempt.
Kind regards
Andreas.
