My first reaction to this is: "does it hurt hard when you shoot yourself in the foot?" Indeed, creating users with the same username than a system group *and* making their primary group this system group *and* doing that without adduser (if you try to create the "staff" user with adduser, you'll be warned that "adduser: The group `staff' already exists.").....is a good way to create problems. Maybe Nicolas swill have another interpretation, we'll see..:-)
