Thanks for your reply. It seems that I didn't miss anything obvious.
It would be good to have a list of the powers granted by each group measurement. This belongs in debian documentation. Unfortunately there are several reasonable places. group(5)?
Interesting/inconvenient change to EXTRA_GROUPS. I wonder why? Probably security.

I found a hack easier. Just use a text editor's global search and replace silly$ with silly,hugh. Except for group silly.
Thanks for walking through the details everyone. It's something I'd wondered about and never pursued - good to know the ins-and-outs. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
