I hate to raise heretical notions, but I really don't think
user/group/other works very often, and it's not worth trying to tweak
it.  If a filesystem object isn't world readable, then 90% of the time
I want an access control list (maybe just for directories) to specify
who gets to do what with that file.  Allowing the authentication
system to put users in multiple catagories, even if you can change
them easily, doesn't seem to me to be the right solution.
