Indeed, and this is much closer to what I have on my system (OK, the
group is called "install" and there isn't a corresponding user, but
the principle is very similar).
I didn't want to suggest it in case it ruffled feathers, but it
appears that the idea of having a group per user isn't too badly
received.
Summary: I agree with Ian McCloghrie.
