What's wrong:
The Hesiod password information for every Athena user
specifies that their default group is "mit" (gid 101).
Unfortunately, while this group exists in Hesiod, it isn't
in /etc/group{,.local} put in place by the Solaris install,
and never gets added later. As a result, a lot of files
(including some installed during installation) are displayed
with a numerical group owner.
Admittedly, this isn't a particularly show-stopping issue, but
I can't see any reason *not* to add the entry to the group
file, and it might confuse users a little less.
