Also mentioned there was only honoring -z when the groups for a single user were being output. I.E. no double NUL stuff. But I'm not against the double NUL approach really. It would be good I think to have a separate patch though that aligned with other systems and didn't output the "user:" at the start of the line when only a single user is specified. thanks, Pádraig.
