Yes, of course, I could use "useradd -g", but I'm always forgetting it.
I was thinking for something more like...let's say a config file, where
one could put the defaults and actually use only "useradd xyz" w/o any
params. Thinking of which...there is this file /etc/default/useradd,
where I have the statement "GROUP=100" (100=users), but useradd doesn't
obey it...
