It's actually simpler but more powerful: groups are just users with members instead of a distinct thing; membership of a group is checked by the relevant file server and not the local kernel; group membership depends on the user name at the file server, not a separate group ID or list of current groups; and permission is allowed by the first of owner, group and other in that order. --047d7bb04bdac473620506cb32f8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
