It may be the standard way on Mandrake, but it's not a standard way for
Unix... it is unexpected behaviour and you do have a group labled
"users" which I assume is for this purpose. It's not a big problem or
anything, I just can't see the reason for doing it that way. The last
thing any of us would want is a hundred different groups with the exact
same name as the user IDs in the system.
