/etc/group describes the groups on a system. a comma-separated list of
users at the end of a particular line stands for membership of all
these users in this particular group.
i am sure that there are command-line utilities to do that, but then
again, /etc/group is so old and so standard that you can safely do
this by hand without violating some debian policy or philosophy,
right?
