You should have a group dip as group number 30. As I understood it,
if you don't have the group, you would see the numerical value of
gd, so perhaps it's there. I skimmed past it the first time I was
looking for it, so it may be worth checking.
The dip group is sufficient to allow users to use pon / poff.
The permissions are intended that way.
