Robroy - User/Group

Kris and Allan,

It seems conventional on FreeBSD for an account's primary group name to match the account name, like alf:alf.

Do either of you happen to know this convention's history or rationale?

I've checked on SCO OpenServer and OS X, and they use default, catch-all groups like "group" and "staff" instead.

Thanks so much,
Robroy

PS.  'see y'all at MeetBSD.
