What were you trying to do?
Login and have my gid (101) placed in /etc/group
What's wrong:
Xlogin fails to do so; it should be noted that if root has
logged in since the workstation has reactivated or rebooted,
gid 101 (mit) will be in /etc/group, therefore it may appear
that your gid is added when it actually was done previously.
What should have happened:
Xlogin should add your gid, in addition to your grplist, to
the /etc/group file (it is not necessary for you to actually
be _listed_ in /etc/group file, merely for your group to be)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Umm...
