	*sigh* The more I think about it, the less useful it seems, really.  If
I add myself to one more group, my SunOS machine gets very mad at me.  My CVS
repository is on a NetBSD machine, and there are a couple of people who share
it with me.  I guess I could gain just as much by moving it to a Solaris
machine for the things I need.  It just seemed like a neat idea.
