... and Sean's post reminds me: if you just accepted RH's defaults
on useradd before and created a group for every user (had fun
figuring out why SSH keys wouldn't work, didn't you?), then you need
the /etc/group file too.

I forget that particular default because it's so far out in left
field when it comes to any production environment that a -g users
doesn't even require thought for me any more on useradd.
