Thank you Steve for your prompt response. I have tried your suggestion and it
worked. But I also found a solution by using the available kernel. I copied
both the kernel and initrd to my computer, then I edit menu.list like below
title Linux terminal service (Ubuntu Feisty)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-386 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-386

It could be a solution. For now, I myself use manual approach by editing
/etc/group directly. But I'm afraid, any administrator does not know this and
use users-admin. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
