    Can anyone explain to me the benefits of per-user groups? It seems to me that
    modern *nix systems, FreeBSD included, create a new group for each user.

    Is there a security benefit (or some other benefit) to be had by this? Why has
    it apparently been adopted as a convention by the free *nix flavours?

    Just curious, not looking to start a long discussion about it, so off-list
    answers are fine.

    thanks,
    Klaus
