Thanks Ted, I'm well aware of these but I'm specifically after a way
to specify what groups a new user should be automatically added to, in
addition to their primary group :-) So far, I haven't found that ;-)

Thanks Thomas, but unless I missed something it doesn't really help
:-) I realise that each user gets their own private group, but I want
to have new users added to extra groups at the time of creation.

Cheers,
