equating groups

[David Wright <ichbin@shadlen.org>]

Is there some way to make all members of one group members of another?

In detail, my situation is this.  I have a large number of users in an 
LDAP database, all with primary gid=users. I would like to give them 
access to floppy drives. One way is
  useradd username floppy
for every username -- not very scalable. Another way is
  chgrp users filename
for every filename which now belongs to the group floppy -- again not 
very scalable. So what I would like to do is set, in a revokable 
fashion, floppy=users.
