Actually, Keesh is running an attempt at an Athena-ized login, and
this is a bug in it.  (It does updates the passwd file.  Really, try
logging in as sipbtest or some other obscure account.)  But it doesn't
update /etc/group.

I'll fix this at my earliest convenience.  Thanks for pointing this out.
