According to the Porter's Handbook, that's possibly the very worst choice:
ircservices:*:73:73:IRC services:/nonexistent:/nonexistent
Hmm. I was looking at the copy of the Porter's Handbook on www.FreeBSD.org
and it didn't show that one as reserved:
...

authpf:*:63:
uucp:*:66:
xten:*:67:
dialer:*:68:

Of course, it also didn't show some of the groups now in /etc/group. Am I
looking at the wrong porter's handbook?
Incidentally, this was one of the few group ID's I could find that wasn't
allocated in one of {Darwin, Solaris, FreeBSD, SuSE}.
