What I have saying all along is that group security is the basic UNIX
security scheme. If you abandon that then a lot of trouble is the result.
You might be able to handle that issue on a single system but if you scale
it you run into things that do not work anymore.
Right now Debian is forcing us to set up things a certain way and we
continually have to change it. The
suidmanager proposal hopefully clarifies that I dont think everyone must
conform to any scheme (which I often think Debian forces on
administrators)
