I'm not sure about that one; I think setting a group based on an option
called "user" -- if there is no option "group" specified -- is going to
be counterintuitive.

Instead, it might be better to redefine the "group" option as a
comma-separated list, so that multiple groups can be set in the
configuration file, if needs be.
