Yes, of course, I could use "useradd -g", but I'm always forgetting
about 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. Talking of which...there's that
file /etc/default/useradd, where I have the statement
"GROUP=100" (100=users), but useradd doesn't obey it...
