None the less - the user must grant access before someone else can
access his/her session - if I remember right. My main intention: Do we
need this group at all - or does it bring more trouble then help.
We must also check, whether this script introduces false security by
checking something that can easily be circumvented. I have not looked
into it, but I have the feeling that this might be the case.
