Hello Fans,

As described in FOSSILCONS(8) default /adm/users for fossil is:
adm:adm:adm:sys
none:none::
noworld:noworld::
sys:sys::
glenda:glenda:glenda:

Most of system files owned by user sys in group sys, but what do adm?
And why sys belong to group Adm?

adm is for fileserver configuration.
ordinary users are often in group sys,
but no one is in group adm.

i don't remember why sys is in adm.
maybe to back up the keys file.
