    The 2.2.1 concept of groups seems to be either broken or different
than BSDs. On BSD uses multiple groups for file permission/access checking,
but on 2.2.1 being a member of groups other than one's login group
does not allow one to get access to files in those other groups!

    Is this a bug or are these groups only for NFS purposes?
    Do groups work in V.4 the same as BSD?
    Is there a fix for this? (I thought SSU1.a fixed this problem, but nooooo)
