Heh, yep that would do it. :) I perused the man page and did not see a
reference to secondary groups.
My whole point in this is that maybe the few man pages that instruct
to edit the passwd and group file directly, instead use usermod and
groupmod. Much for the same reasons for using visudo as opposed to
vi'ng the sudoers file.
